Verse of the day

You’ll use the old rubble of past lives to build anew, rebuild the foundations from out of your past. You’ll be known as those who can fix anything, restore old ruins, rebuild and renovate, make the community livable again. 
Isaiah 58:12 (The Message)

Voice of the day

The clarity that comes from rage should also tell us what kind of world we want to see, not just what kind of things we want to get rid of.

Brittney Cooper, "Eloquent Rage: A Black Feminist Discovers Her Superpower"

Prayer of the day

Jesus, as we reach the end of a year in which many of us have felt rage in response to injustice, please enable us to enter the new year with both the commitment to tear down systems of injustice and the vision to build the world that we want to see.
