Oddly it works well with a new book that arrived yesterday called MAKING MONEY HOLY by Demi Prentiss that explores our relationship with money &amp; how to practice #ConscientiousStewardship 2025-10-16T09:52:02Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstae308ay3gs8gve39edsy7dkhhe49atge9x09v85h4usv5uade0szyqluz0mgyslt9u0xstsq52uqv5y5cm4tve4aczykvq3fzu0cpkv4ye8jvkd He’s right. What is happening in #Gaza is #genocide I have been resisting naming the sin of the Israeli government, and of all the governments supporting or just watching this happen, including my own. I have, to my shame, been silent about this suffering. So what changed? Last week, I attended the Race Religion and Social Justice #RRSJ conference, and one of the sessions looked at how food has historically been used as a weapon. The tactics the speaker laid out, using Rawanda and the Holocaust as examples, are now being used against Palestinians. What we are watching in Gaza and the West Bank is the end game of what is happening with the ICE raids, cuts to SNAP and detention centers in the US. We will get there, sooner rather than later. This is #racism writ large and clear. I pray that the world wakes from this fever dream, repenting our hatred, and turning away from the violence before we lose the ability to do so. May God have mercy on all of us. <a href="https://scheerpost.com/2025/06/10/chris-hedges-the-last-days-of-gaza/">https://scheerpost.com/2025/06/10/chris-hedges-the-last-days-of-gaza/</a> 2025-06-17T01:04:24Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqstyv3elm9uyv7rchd73973rg89zfknhsw555muvjrf0wtwvexpfuczyqluz0mgyslt9u0xstsq52uqv5y5cm4tve4aczykvq3fzu0cpkv4ypguutn If you are following the situation in Tom’s River, NJ (the town is trying to use #EminentDomain to seize church property to turn into a park after the church submitted plans to the #zoning commission to build a #homeless shelter), here are some ways to help: #Epsicopal #TomsRiver<br/> <img src="https://episcodon.net/system/media_attachments/files/114/630/440/594/194/898/original/beeb2396b5923b75.png"> <br/> 2025-06-05T11:10:58Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqs05duvzktf6w5an3g97phscs0q5w9alafeluykdqtp7z6prht69mszyqluz0mgyslt9u0xstsq52uqv5y5cm4tve4aczykvq3fzu0cpkv4yx8p9cs In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsfxfjrmggde0q5ler2509mqzvyjyxs9fyf4deph7z60t75kt2gcyq5rc9ew'>nevent1q…c9ew</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I’m curious what your source is for the anti-cash statements (I’d also like to know if the trends apply to the U.S. as well)? In my experience, it’s not the banks pushing less use of cash as much as it is consumers. I’ve had multiple conversations with young people around why cash is more convenient and “better” than cards/digital payments. It’s like no one ever explained it to them 🤷🏻 2025-04-25T11:51:50Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsw4jz3es0y95jlh5l6uv2kfzd87y9dg5jk3k3t38ngwdtm59esuyczyqluz0mgyslt9u0xstsq52uqv5y5cm4tve4aczykvq3fzu0cpkv4y3vzy0y In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqswu2l6t0fdj0zq3fprwpvl38majnka6a3sqqvhduse52eqadln9yspu2eme'>nevent1q…2eme</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>I think it depends on what you mean by “negative”. If someone says a book is not for them because they don’t like the genre or writing style or whatever that’s one thing. A critical review with the aim of helping the author improve is similar to that (particularly if it includes examples from your own, their, or other writing). Being negative just to be mean &amp; tear down a writer is not something anyone should do publicly (or privately, for that matter) You don’t have to constantly flatter folks, but neither should you seek to destroy them every chance you get just because you can. 2025-04-08T19:55:46Z https://nostr.now/nevent1qqsdpr6ldnr0c8a869ux2e7d4fq9nwzk7qfkjrh6x5adgvvn6wren7szyqluz0mgyslt9u0xstsq52uqv5y5cm4tve4aczykvq3fzu0cpkv4ytp3e5z In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs9tz0ytu5h38rmf832lqrzv6nrpxdwavxwc9qth5hzka94rrgnrwgxpnvn5'>nevent1q…nvn5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>oh, fascinating!
