After many years, I’ve finally found a devotional for the long haul. The Redemptorists Daily Devotional is a really great devotional. It has the lectionary readings, a reflection, the saint of the day, front matter that includes many Catholic prayers, and is beautifully packaged to go where you go.

Lemon on par with Jussie and OJ. Making everyone and everything worse!! We got a ICE problem and he gotta go in a CHURCH stirring up more trouble?!?!?! Yapping bout white folks and go home to a white man?! Those two girls gonna do his stretch!

Lemon belongs in jail not those two sisters they arrested. You fools fall in line without critical thinking at all. ICE is bad but protesters got no business in church. White people scared to call this out because its a Black man. #BlackStandardCollective

Even if they believe this, they should argue that ICE is committing unlawful acts and violating the constitution (both true) and that voting to fund ICE would mean accepting that laws and the constitution don't matter. The reality is a lot simpler: Jeffries is and always has been a terrible leader.

Dr. Gladys West, the pioneering mathematician whose work laid the foundation for modern GPS technology, has died. She was 95.

Gonna jail some poor young kids. Sports books, gambling mafia gets richer. #BlackStandardCollective

Lyin' Cheatin'... Blackin' That computers can think, do we really thank Jesus? They gonna take jobs, help us cheat? What's this?! Tech moving forward, with a backward racist plan: Advertising plagiarism they use a black hand. #BlackStandardCollective

I’m watching who following through without being reminded. That’s leadership material. #BlackStandardCollective

when you win an election act like you won instead of immediately going into a defensive crouch like you were given permission by the opposition to lead

Something has been upsetting me these last few days. A man who insists he progressive, treated a fellow member of the platform with great dismissiveness. Very crude belittlement. When confronted, he grew angry and hostile. It is possible to be progressive and practice good manners. #WorkToBeDone

January always make me take inventory. What I said I wanted vs what I actually worked on. The gap be loud. #BlackStandardCollective

Faith still here. Confidence wobbling a little. Both telling me something. #BlackStandardCollective

Church folks get nervous when you talk money. Poor folks get nervous when you don’t. #BlackStandardCollective

Keep talkin bout Greenland. Keep thinkin bout all that. Rich gettin' richer.

Congratulations amerikkka we are a terrorist state because of insecure mediocre white men. I SAID WHAT I SAID! ❤️🖤💚✊🏿

A Black woman begged them to note that child was a child

A reminder that strength grows when we trust God and keep showing up, even on the hard days.

Got brothers and sisters of every color and kind to connect with. In time, in time.

Resources...it's ALWAYS about resources.

The study of wars and history of men causing problems because they can't simply just "have something they want" should be labeled over all history records as emotional outbursts or tantrums.

Drink your water. Give yourself grace in times of adversity. Don't be ashy. 🫶🏾

You want Black and Brown immigrants to go back to where they come and then you want to bomb them once they do. You know what that's called? Genocide.

Not my place to question God's plan. Maduro not following God's plan oppressing good people. Trump not following any damn plan raining down bombs and destruction. Everybody gotta get right. #BlackStandardCollective

I’ve seen men pray for miracles they could’ve budgeted for. Faith ain’t a substitute for a plan. #BlackStandardCollective

Before you ask God for a blessing, check your budget and your behavior. One of them is the real problem. #BlackStandardCollective

If you ain’t organizing, you spectating. If you ain’t reading, you repeating. If you ain’t tired sometimes, you ain’t working. (I stay tired. Because I stay working.) #BlackStandardCollective
