Old Words, New Interpretation

Life is fluid. With that being said I believe that the interpretation of scripture and the constitution. Both documents cannot impose authority based upon ancient norms and rules. Words should be living and breathing things and given the opportunity to propose new ways of looking at things.

We cannot allow old words to prevent life and happiness from being accessible to all. Freedom and liberty must make a bigger table for many to sit down and partake.

The world would be a much safer place if that were the case. May everyone enjoy life, liberty, and happiness.

Quote Of The Day

A sickness known as hate; not a virus, not a microbe, not a germ – but a sickness nonetheless, highly contagious, deadly in its effects. Don’t look for it in the Twilight Zone – look for it in a mirror. Look for it before the light goes out altogether.

Hello Friday

I’m happy it’s Friday. But with what’s going on around the world it’s good to be mindful. The best thing we can do is to live our lives and love our neighbors as we love ourselves.

Have a great weekend good people.

Sometimes you have to speak out to make a change. The things you say might not be agreeable to everyone. Hopefully, when you raise your voice, it is met with an understanding spirit and heart. Good trouble is always good.
