Today’s law-and-order God - the God with steely eyes but no shining face, the God with a gavel and a gun rather than a staff of a good shepherd, the God who devises and imposes rules but doesn’t care for justice and love - today’s law-and-order God is tomorrow’s dead God.
I'm having to work at empathizing with everyone who tells me about how bored they are. I rarely get bored unless there is external static keeping me from focusing on the non-stop 3-ring-circus happening in my head. #INFJ

I think one reason for the sky-high rate of burn out & missing fulfillment among Jesus-followers is the attractive rut we get into, pouring our efforts & energies into empowering the powerful. We keep feeding the full, clothing the accessorized & defending the well-protected. ->

The antithesis of Christianity doesn’t look like 666 scrawled across an album cover or a 7th grader’s notebook. It looks like this. The worship of power, might, and violence, while ignoring the weak, outcast, and the vulnerable. – at Siek, Deutschland
"No non-American could watch that spectacle at the Lincoln Memorial and feel that America stood for anything good or right or universal. Power worshipped power, for its own sake," writes @DavidFrum: on.theatln.tc/LA5QPUo
The best way to challenge high-profile individuals with Narcissistic Personality Disorder is to quietly do end-runs around them. Any other approach energizes them.
Solid leaders decline to render an expert opinion on matters outside their realm of expertise. Of course, narcissistic people want others to believe they are experts on everything -- including firefighting.
A person whose speech is consistently characterized by falsehoods is in no way advancing Christian values. Plain and simple.

Constant weariness seems to be the condition of modern life. It does not have to be this way. We should not valorize overwork, exhaustion, late nights. Let us be defiant in our protection of gentle days, unhurried conversations, unjustified rest. Viva la restful revolution!
In & of itself The Bletchley Circle: San Francisco makes the BritBox subscription worth it. Intense storyline, exquisite acting. Subplots on race relations & misogyny.
I'm pretty impressed with Roy Goble's newest book Salvaged -- and it's not just because the chapters are short. But I love his folksy storytelling & fresh take on leadership. AND he's got cool pithy proverb-like summary statements at the end of each chapter. #salvagedbook
Yesterday Cheryl & I became residents of @_Plantation, Florida. I officially start as chaplain @ Covenant Village FL on 10/15.
Patriotism is the act of securing and advancing the well being of one's compatriots. Nothing more. Nothing less.
