Sabbath sign out: Tonight I believe in the miracle of community & resistance to evil because #PaulDama is home! “I gained all the strength and even the confidence to go before the judge knowing that I had that kind of support from the community,” Praise God www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

#WNBABoston could be: Shey Peddy, Aaliyah Boston, Veronica Burton…

Of ROXBURY 🙌🏼☘️🙏🏽 #Boston #WNBABoston

I believe in miracles. Paul Dama is free.

When people spam my 📱 phone, I’ve taken to responding with scripture:

Remember, kids: Being disappeared by rapture= good Being disappeared by ICE= bad

(to our knowledge)

According to data from Ice, we passed a significant milestone. Immigrants with no criminal record now make up the largest group arrested and booked into detention by Ice.

Praying today with 2Kings9: Let us pray 🙏🏽 “what have we done do with peace?” O God, most days, not much. War churns around us and most days I’m contributing. I watch all these warring men and think I have no power. But I do not add to peace. I fall in line. Help me get ready for what is to come.

Three things I can talk about for 3 hrs, no prep? 1. Women’s sports, all of them 2. Textile history 3. Church & pastoral care ( aka how to build community) Close 4 is Massachusetts politics. Only another generation or two and I’ll be local.

Evening timeline cleanse. 🧼

Of the Roman Catholic Sexual Abuse Crisis, Mayor Thomas Koch of #QuincyMA said “That was mostly homosexual issues, not pedophilia.” After criticism, Koch said “if I offended anybody, I apologize. That was never the intent… I have gay friends & relatives and all.” www.bostonglobe.com/2025/09/25/m...

We’re going to need to watch the Taurasi documentary for lack of #WNBA

Low church/ Covid safe cuties

There’s a distinct lack of women’s sports on tonight.

Respect to a church that doesn’t presume everyone knows the Lord’s Prayer 🙏🏽

Today is also the feast day of St SERGIUS OF RADONEZH, Monastic, 1392, patron saint of #Russia. He founded the monastery of #SergiyevPosad and was an essential to renewal of #Orthodox Christianity in Russia. Join me in praying for the Russian Orthodox #Church that it might return to the faith.

Praying with the aggro Psalm 83: Let us 🙏🏽 When you said to pray for my enemies, was it like this, Lord? “Make them like whirling dust?” Because especially for those who kidnap my kin, I feel like praying “Cover their faces with shame, O LORD, that they may seek your Name.” Your words, not mine.

Say whatever you want about Harvard, The Crimson doesn't miss.

Shout out to @pressley.house.gov who has been dedicated to #PaulDama and his family and the righteous cause of getting him home to his community. At every meeting for Paul I’ve been at, someone from Rep. Pressley’s team has been there. Praise God. Now bring Paul home.

I joined Temple Emunah Lexington to cast my sins upon the water in the Jewish service of #Tashlikh. Gather on holy days. On good days. Not just when there’s a crisis. Join me in praying for our Jewish kin during these #HighHolyDays. May they be safe, meaningful and may all draw closer to G-d.

Hard NO on legalizing online gambling. We don't need to expand predatory industries. massterlist.beehiiv.com/p/igambling-...

I will own that the “love thy enemies” thing is particularly hard with a dog walking neighbor who I can hear through our closed window and doors who yells: AND WERE WALKING. LETS POOP. LETS GO. START POOPING NOW. C’MON. NO EATING GRASS. MOVE. GOOD POOPIES LETS GO. WHO IS PEEING. STOP PEEING. GO POOP

Praying with the wildly inconvenient Matt 5: Let us pray 🙏🏽 It’s the “so that,” Lord. “So that you may be children of your Father in Heaven.” I see you holding us to a higher standard, loving our enemies. I don’t like it, but I’m trying. Send that rain on both the righteous and unrighteousness 🌧️

Forgive me Lord, for getting into it with my cousins on FB even before morning prayers.

“Dama was on his way to church on June 15 when he was stopped by ICE and taken into custody.” Here’s a full report from the always dependable Sarah Betancourt of @wgbh.org #pauldama #bospoli #mapoli www.wgbh.org/news/local/2...

Extra basketball!

So much for everyone who thinks these things are just cute toys that let parents take video of their kids discreetly. Meta is building facial recognition and AI into future models.

I was in Chelmsford for an asylum hearing today with Department of Homeland Security- and Judge Yul-mi Cho ruled that Brother Paul Dama of Suya Joint has met rhe bar for Asylum!! Praise the Lord!! We know the feds may appeal but we praise God for this good news for Brother Paul!

I just logged off the hearing. Feds will appeal but Paul Dama of Suya Joint has been granted asylum. Praise the Living God. #mapoli #Bospoli

PAUL DAMA HAS BEEN GRANTED ASSYLUM

This joke deserves more respect than it’s getting- much like Christine #Sinclair- the world's all-time leader for international goals scored for men or women with 190 goals. (Cristiano Ronaldo holds the all-time #men's international scoring record with 141 goals)

This nation is a death cult. We practice human sacrifice.

#September23 Blessed Feast Day of St Thecla! The 1st female martyr, condemned to burn at the stake, she was saved by miraculous thunderstorm ⛈️ . She baptized herself before death. Let us pray 🙏🏽 : O God, give me the courage of St Thecla to take my faith in my own hands. 🙌🏼

Talked with a parent of an autistic kiddo today who is angry and worried and heartsick. My prayers are with everyone tonight who goes to bed more scared for themselves, their loved ones, their families. The God I know adore you.

A #Sinclair Worthy of Respect 🇨🇦

I’m finally watching the #SueBird : In The Clutch documentary. I hate it here. #WNBA #CBA #PayThePlayers #WNBAPlayoffs

Timeline cleanse: we all deserve a chihuahua in a sushi 🍣 costume

lol my episcopal kin: your “conversation” story of Philander Chase is the most episcopal of episcopaly. Upon reading the book of common prayer, he is so moved by its beauty he stops being a Congregationalist at Dartmouth. Babe. Plz.

Praying with Romans 10: “My heart’s desire and prayer to God” for all people is that they may be saved. Save us. All of us. Even the people I don’t want to save. Lord, you promise that the Word is near to us- on our lips and in our hearts. May my words today be loving and true and from You. Amen.

Hold up. There were fireworks at the memorial, for the president? As a pastor, I’m loathe to tell someone else how to mourn, or organize a memorial, but as a Christian service of resurrection, the life to be celebrating is the deceased’s.

Took a while to track both down, but Photographer is Ashlee Rezin of Chicago Sun-Times. Clergy is Rev. David Black of First Presbyterian #Church of #Chicago.

"I’m free today because of this advocacy,” Soliman said. “Don’t underestimate your voice."

All I’m sayin’ is if I’m not taken in the upcoming rapture I’m gonna be pissed.

Ann Katrin Berger is a high risk, high reward situation. #NWSL

The dog is not doing well with the change of seasons.

Update: the leftovers were excellent.

Esther to 🌹 Rose! #GothamFC #NWSL

This is excellent news.
