If you're in or near the Berkshires of W. Massachusetts, come to our concert. We are singing some great American music: spirituals. Shaker music, George M. Cohan tunes, and the best of the Patriotic canon. Come early as we usually sell out, or go online and be sure of a seat.

Goodnight all. Prayers tonight for peace. For decency and democracy. For the victims of Epstein and transparency about the files. For the victims of war and accountability for our mistakes. For Ukraine and Lebanon. For truth. The Big lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I pray for peace. All wars are horrible, but this illegal one is ill-conceived, poorly planned with no clear goal. Our country is murdering civilians, including children. When is enough, enough? Public courage is contagious. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight. What happens when you have the best troops in the history of the world & the worst civilian leadership? You get an unpopular war by an unpopular President, with no clear objective. You accidentally bomb a girls' school. Pray for peace. The Big Lie is a Lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. Let us weep together for the world we have created, where life is considered cheap and the rich and powerful can flourish and float above the destruction they have caused. But let us also hope that there will be a reckoning. Pray for peace. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. Our nation has a serious truth deficit. We are seeing unprecedented lying & lack of transparency. Where is Congress? We are killing people & this administration cannot tell us why. Demand the truth! The Big Lie is a lie! The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I weep for our world & our country. There will come a day when we will deeply lament our role in this tragic war. In the meantime, pray for peace & work to remove by peaceful means this wicked, cruel, and murderous administration. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. I often wonder what Trump's appeal is. He’s so openly corrupt and dishonest. And why do so many of my Christian brothers and sisters still support him, no matter how evil his actions are? How long will we accept this? I don’t. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. We are not powerless. Public courage is contagious. Our prayers change the world. We imagine a better, kinder, more just world. Let us tell the truth. The Big Lie is a big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. We could give up and accept that the world is just the way it is, and can never be changed, or we can pray for and imagine a different world. My prayers are for justice, kindness, compassion, and truth. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. There are no good wars, but this one is a particularly bad one. It is unconstitutional, illegal, done without Congress or any conversation with the American people or our (former) allies. What is the mission? The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

If you're in or near the Berkshires of Western Massachusetts, put one of these concerts on your calendar today. People love them, and they usually sell out. Yes, I'm singing.

Goodnight all. I pray for peace. This ill-conceived war is unconstitutional, illegal & strategically of little value, except to Bibi. There's no chance for regime change in Iran, but if we all vote for democracy, we can have a regime change here. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you!

Goodnight all. Let us not submit to this corrupt, incompetent, lying and murderous administration. Public courage is contagious. We pray for faith over fear, kindness over brutality, love over hate, and truth over lies. β€œGod will not be mocked.” The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I took a baptismal vow to resist evil. And so I do. There is nothing Christian about Christian Nationalism. Donald Trump just spent nearly two hours lying. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I don't look away from the evil that is the Trump administration, but I don't let my revulsion overtake my mental health. He and his enablers will not prevail. β€œGod will not be mocked; as ye sow, so shall ye reap.” The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

I’m proud of the US Women’s Olympic Team for taking a pass on attending the SOTU address. They know. We all know about Trump’s literal and metaphorical assault against women. Once again, the men don’t get it. Sad.

Goodnight all. You know I'm a praying guy. So, tonight I pray for peace, for decency and democracy and the rule of law. I pray for faith over fear, compassion over hatred, and truth over lies. And remember, the Big Lie is a really big lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. My family & church try hard to not be prejudiced towards those not like us. We believe that God’s beloved community is welcoming and inclusive. We pray for faith over fear, love over hate, and truth over lies. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I confessed some of my sins and my pastor imposed ashes on my forehead. He told me I came from dust, and would return to dust, but Christ would be with me in death and beyond death. I’m OK with that. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. I’m a pastor. Jesus said, β€œLove your enemies!” He never said we wouldn’t have them. So, your Trumper family members, co-workers, and former friends, we have to love them. But we don’t have to accept their deplorable politics. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight. When I was caught in a lie as a child, I was corrected, felt remorse. Same for my children & grandchildren. This is how it works in a healthy family. I’m ashamed of the lying by our government. There is no apology, no remorse; no shame. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you & keep you

Goodnight all. The DHS doesn’t make me feel safe; how about you? It was created after 9/11 to protect us from terrorists. Now the terrorists are our own government. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. If you’re not outraged by this lawless, corrupt and murderous administration, you’re not paying attention. The Big Lie is a lie. We must do better. The Lord bless you and keep you!

Goodnight all. How long have I’ve been praying for decency and democracy? For many years. So far, it hasn’t worked. But I believe it will. The truth will out. The Big Lie is a lie. The Lord bless you and keep you!
