Are you better off now than you were 4 months ago?

This is irrefutably true. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Thank you to Canada for helping California right now. You are wonderful and good people. 🇨🇦

as LA is burning, a swath of the country is recovering from an ice storm, Alabama is preparing for up to 6” of snow and I’m praying for the TX power grid, a reminder: we don’t need climate action just for future generations, we need it now. the climate crisis is here, all around us

Have I become so dark of heart that when I hear about taking over Greenland, or invading Canada from our President-elect, I just wonder what he is really trying to distract us from? Anybody else with me?

Please join me in praying for all those in the Los Angeles areas suffering under these wildfires. May God protect the people especially the most vulnerable in this time.

May you have a blessed day and may you have peace.

I'm gonna share this cartoon again simply because Jeff Bezos' Washington Post tried to censor it.

January 6, 2021, should live in infamy, as should Trump. robertreich.substack.com/p/today-shal...

Tomorrow Jan. 5th is the last day of Christmas also known as 12th night!

Thank you President Carter for showing us what a life of faith is supposed to look like.

People want a change. People are tired of the way it has been, the way it has always been. Why don't we go ahead and give love and caring for each other a chance. In the end we are all that we have got. And we have been given each other. Blessings be with you my friends.

Remember, Christmas is a 12 day season from Dec 25 to Jan 5. January 5th traditionally being known as 12th night. So sing your carols, jingle your bells, love one another - and keep having a very Merry Christmas.

It was a time like this, War & tumult of war, a horror in the air. Hungry yawned the abyss yet there came the star and the child most wonderfully there. It was a time like this of fear & lust for power, license & greed and blight yet the Prince of bliss came into the darkest hour... -M. L'Engle

Do all the good you can, by all the means you can, to all the people you can, in all the places you can, as long as ever you can. - John Wesley

Holidays can be hard. Many are missing people we lost or those we can't be with anymore. If you feel this way please know you are not alone. And may we all reach out, check on, and share some love and care this time of year.

We know God forgives us our sins - the things we have done or left undone. But God also helps us heal from the trauma of things done to us and the pain from all the love we needed but never received. Mike Rhyne

I wonder if in the end the best thing we can do in this life is try to heal as best as we can, so that we can help others do the same Mike Rhyne

St Francis once said, "I have been all things unholy, if God can work through me he can work through anyone".

May God's presence and love hold you this night. May you have a peaceful sleep. May you wake tomorrow refreshed and open to the myriad possibilities each new day brings. God bless you dear friend.

Expecting 8 - 10 inches of snow Thanksgiving evening here in Maine

It’s a question we ask all the time.

I hope you are well. I hope you have something to be thankful for. Please know I am thankful for you and I pray all you need will come your way.

Wherever you are, I pray God's blessing and presence be with you. Or maybe better said, I pray that you will know God's presence and blessing that always surrounds you.

I was going to ask for prayer for church members and friends who are going through health and personal struggles. I realized so many of us are going through struggles now. So I invite you to join me praying God will be with all who are in need. And, I pray that God will be with and bless you too.

What would happen if peoples first reaction to the unknown person or situation was curiosity rather than fear?

If your church is preaching hate or anything other than love in the name of God, it’s time to find another church #Godislove

Leak the report. Pass it on.

Dear God bring hope to the lost, relief to the oppressed, and peace and safety to victims of war and violence. Teach us all to be instruments of your healing grace in this broken world.

Do you look out into the world with anxiety and fear? If you do I am so sorry 😞 often that is a defense we learned because of bad experience or not enough people in your corner. Please know I thank God for you. You are not alone, and you matter.

Good night friends. May your dreams be pleasant and your sleep restoring. Tomorrow holds unimaginable wonders if we look for them. May God bless you all and keep you this night in peace.

Thanking God for friends who stand by us in the tough times, thankful I wasn't alone and am more grateful for you than I can ever say.

As we heal ourselves (or are healed) we heal the world, because we are part of this creation. What do you think of that?

“Where there is no love, put love and you will find love. A soul enkindled with love is a gentle, meek, humble, and patient soul.” – St John of the Cross

Can you help someone for no reason today? Can you let someone know they are seen and matter? Can you appreciate someone and tell them you do? Try it and see what happens.

"No Matter Who is President, Jesus is King" - on the sign at the 'Bible Baptist Church' near Ellsworth, Maine

Hey, you! Yes You! You are beautifully and wonderfully made. God loves you. Don't ever forget that you matter to the one who made heaven and earth, and who holds all of creation in the palm of their hand.

So let us get this straight: Increasing the minimum wage is socialism, but corporations keeping wages low by forcing workers on to public assistance is the free market?
