Our Hope
This, my friends, gives me hope for our country. This is what matters. She will live IN PROXIMITY to the weak, thus avoiding ideologies which blindly hurt them.
Prayeroftheday from Sojourners.com
May this weekend be one of rest and recentering, refreshment and rejuvenation. God, give us eyes to see where you are leading, ears to hear what you are saying, and a heart that follows you wherever you may go. Amen.
Cutbacks?
I could use some reassurance/clarification from my tweeps who know about these things: we're not cutting back on important programs for poor & minority kids & continuing to fund wars just to "feel safe" are we?
