WASHINGTON (RNS) — 'It is wrong for the highest court in the land to criminalize homelessness,' said the Rev. Liz Theoharis, co-chair of the
“Occasionally I’ll have a beer after work and break out the sketchbook. But I had wanted to be this great painter. I wanted to do these grand things: big, huge oil paintings. But those days of painting all the time were such a roller coaster. There were these periods of extreme depression, followed by manic states of trying to put myself out there. I couldn’t do it anymore. I mainly felt sorry for my dad. I know it was rough for him. My mom hadn’t wanted me to go to art school. She wanted me to do something more practical, but my dad said: ‘No. This is what he wants to do, and I want to support his dream.’ And then I abandoned it. That was the first time I had to deal with real failure. A lot of times when you’re an artist, it’s your job, it’s your lifestyle, it’s your entire fucking identity. It wasn’t like I failed to do a thing. It was like: I failed to be something, you know? It was a failure to live up to what I thought was my destiny. But then on the other side of that, there was this figuring out that there was nothing wrong with me the entire time. I didn’t need to be something else to have meaningful friendships, or a good relationship. I didn’t need to be something else to be loved and cared about. After work tonight I’m going to meet up with a person who’s in love with me, and I can’t wait. And that person met me long after I gave up on being a full-time artist. They met me when I wasn’t even a chef yet. I was a piss-poor, part-time line cook. But even then, they decided I was worth it. So you know, there’s something there. There’s something there that’s enough.”

Follow Lisa Ormond's life-changing pilgrimage in Idaho. Experience the power of faith and the joy of seeking a divine encounter.
Lisa Ormond is officially a pilgrim on the Catholic National Eucharistic Pilgrimage in Idaho.
"I recognize I’ve been on my own spiritual journey and pilgrimage as a faith follower for a minimum of nearly three years. The Lord directly spoke to my heart and told me, 'Keep your head down and keep walking.' So, I have, and I still am, hence the pilgrimage must do. I didn’t question the Almighty’s call to me. I just knew I needed to be there."
Gain insights into the United Methodist Church's journey towards inclusivity and reconciliation on the topic of homosexuality.
aul Graves takes a look at how the United Methodist Church is moving in a good direction with homosexuality but still has a lot of work to do.
"Then, 'Although we do not condone the practice of homosexuality and consider this practice incompatible with Christian teaching, we affirm that God’s grace is available to all.' But apparently our own grace isn’t?
Is this contradiction as glaring to you as it is to me? Our denomination has been living in this contradiction for 52 years. Unknown numbers of LGBTQ+ persons, their families and friends have been destructively impacted by this contradiction."

Discover the impact of ghosting in our culture. Explore the potential consequences of cutting someone off without notice and a better way.
Andy Pope writes about "Ghosting" and how he doesn't believe this is the best way to handle "toxic" relationships.
"When the Lord says 'love our enemies,' he never advises us to buddy up to them. Yet though they may be bitter adversaries in this world, they are still children under his sun and his rain.
I say, the best thing to do is to leave them — but to leave them with courtesy, closure and grace. And then, to continue to love them — from a distance."
The controversy surrounding Moms For Liberty's status as a professional development provider in Washington State's education system.
By law, Washington teachers must complete 100 hours of professional development every five years to keep their licenses.
But there are nearly no state rules for who offers these continuing education credits, known as “clock hours.” In just a few simple steps, just about any group can register with the state online to be a clock hour provider.
In fact, Moms For Liberty — a conservative group against teaching about race and gender in schools and labeled far-right extremists by the Southern Poverty Law Center — is on Washington’s official list of approved providers for this school year.

Discover the truth about God's love for the LGBTQ+ community. A thought-provoking commentary that challenges misconceptions.
"The deep-rooted hurt that the many members of the gay community experience stems from the widely-held belief that can be summarized in one simple statement: God hates the gays.
I’ve had several friends throughout my years who have shared that sentiment with me, citing it as the primary reason they hadn’t set foot in a church for years. As a Catholic, I always found this statement highly disappointing and disheartening."
