The Greek word for faith, pistis, was a word meaning political loyalty and allegiance. The religious is political. The political is religious.

Praying the News, Tuesday, March 3, 2015
All the time I am feeling older and older. I don't know if I have the energy anymore to do this, God. I feel like I'm bailing. And then I see the words of Senator Barbara Mikulski as she leaves office. She gets tired of fighting for her job and not fighting for the jobs of others. I wonder if I have gotten caught up in things that just exhaust me. Piddly things. Small things. Things that are not of you. I want to be like her. Rather than spending all this time raising money, I want to raise hell. I want to raise hell. Give me that kind of courage, O God. Don't let me fade. Amen.
