Breathe.
It’s bad. We knew that.
The bad is swift. We knew that.
Knowing doesn’t make it any better.

Breathe.
Do the next right thing.
Do the next right thing to take care of yourself and your family.
Come to church. Invite friends who are scared right now.
Offer one another patience, grace, and mercy.

Breathe.
Choose wisely where to place your attention.
Actively withdraw your attention from clickbait.
Don’t be distracted from your values, from the world you want to create.

Breathe.
Stay connected to what buoys your spirit.
Engage in what increases your resilience.
Find your courage to speak truth to power as kindly and clearly
as Rt. Rev. Bishop Mariann Edgar Budde.

Breathe.
with care and in faith~ Rev. Wendy & Rev. Lynn
