I’m a bit of an oddball but everyone seeks to belong to something that makes them feel a part of a group or community. Every person should have the freedom to be themselves and to be comfortable in that expression. Inclusion is a wonderful thing and being asked to be a part of a squad is something special. Life is too short to go it alone.

Six Word Story
May peace be something easily achieved.
Marching On
Marching on for a cause requires courage, determination and the desire to challenge power. People who want life, liberty and happiness for all do so because they want a life better for their sons and daughters than they had. We live in a time when fear and greed are so much a part of the agenda of some that they are making life hell for others. Marching on places like DC and NYC and all places in between means making ones voice heard. In my mind we need more marching, more people part of the process that have been held back in years past. Being for life means being sure everyone has the things needed to improve their situation. Today we should never forget Selma, Birmingham, Stonewall, Tiananmen Square, Cairo and so many other places that have shown us the way to create a more perfect place in many places around the world. Fight the power good people.
Daily Prompt: Agile
Agile is the ability to be nimble and alert. There are circumstances when being agile can help you be able to do different things when life demands it. Sometimes you have to work from places you aren’t used to. We all have our preferred place and space but being agile can help you react to life’s changes. Agility means being smart and perceptive so you can adapt when needed. In this day and age change comes at you fast, at least that is what a commercial on TV says.

Because it feels a little like Canada here in Tennessee so a little Canadian Pilsner is appropriate.
The Afterlife
I am a proud member of the Episcopal branch of the Jesus movement. I believe in a afterlife for all. With that being said its still never easy to see brilliant and talented people leaving this life when there is still so much work to be done. When its someone close to your age it kind of rattles the soul. There are so many people who are close to us who were vital parts of our lives who have joined the company of saints and it makes life a little less awesome. Perhaps it is a reminder we all have a responsibility to make things great for people who rely upon us to carry the torch.
