In “Crime, Punishment & Policing in the N*T World” our class discussed Cone’s Cross and the Lynching Tree, Matthew’s Lynching Tree and the Cross, Cook’s Roman Crucifixions & Nikia Robert’s Penitence, Plantations, and the Penitentiary:A Liberation Theology for Lockdown America!

The class I’m teaching this semester called “Crime, Punishment, and Policing in the New* Testament World” was dynamic today as we brought ancient carceral practices into conversation with both the memory of Paul as imprisoned and Michelle Alexander’s The New Jim Crow. #britebible

Today, I embrace one more year of J.L.W. One more year to pursue Justice, Love, and Wholeness. One more year to Just Live Well. I am grateful to end and begin one more year.

I recently learned that Nat Turner and Gandhi were also born on this date. In some ways, I’m between the two. On my best days, I’m closer to Nat Turner. I’m grateful for the journey and another year to love my people and to make oppressors uncomfortable. #birthday

God, today, move Alabama voters a little closer toward bringing your reign into the world instead of supporting moore intolerance, moore predators, and moore fake displays of religion. In the Name of the One Conceived by a Teenage Girl, Amen.

"This is what the Incarnation means. God in Christ comes to the weak and helpless, and becomes one with them, taking their condition of oppression as his (sic) own and thus transforming their slave-existence into a liberated existence." ~ Cone #advent

If you can preach about the slaves in the gospel lectionary text (Mark 13:24-37) without mentioning the enslaved humans in Libya #youaintreadingitright

God, empower us to break the anti-black slavery that binds the bodies of those in Libya and the minds of those in the US. In the Name of the One who took on the form of a slave, Amen. #decemberprayers

Learned this at church Sunday: "in life, let this be my goal/ to focus on the donut and not on the hole." I am grateful to God for my chocolate covered family, joy filled friends, and sprinkles of favor. #HappyThanksgiving2017

There is something subversive about the way Black folks take "traditional" holiday foods and transform them into delicious, different dishes. They may have the same names but don't be deceived. There is an evolution. This is resistance.
