Minneapolis and Minnesota did not ask for the crap it’s going through. The violence and murders have to stop. I hope for peace and safety for the people there.

For God So Loves
For God so loves the world and those who live here on planet Earth. Be mindful of Venezuela, Palestine, Ukraine, and other places that don’t have peace and comfort at the moment. Blessed be their children and those who mourn.
Quote Of The Day
If you want to do violence in this world, you will always find the weapons. If you want to heal, you will always find the balm.
Rachel Held Evans
Quote Of The Day
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
U.S. President John F. Kennedy
Quote Of The Day
The peace produced by grace is a spiritual stability too deep for violence – it is unshakeable.
Thomas Merton
A Ramble About Violence
As we all know the world is a violent place. So much of it is not fighting but something else. There is economic, political, environmental, ecological, social and spiritual violence that does as much harm you can’t see. It’s truly troubling what humans do to each other and to nature.
People have such promise for peace and they have the ability for unreal violence too. All this is senseless tragedy that doesn’t have to happen if we are intentional about pursuing peace, understanding and reconciliation.
How we treat our fellow man and the planet says a lot about us. We can do better. All of us can.
Be kind to the world around you. Peace begins with all of us.
