A friend asked me tonight "When are things not going to be so sucky?" Many people have been asking this lately. Yes, sometimes I question when will things be different.. but really when will things change? When we do something about it. Tonight I listened to 16 other people talk about Healing the Heart of Democracy by Parker J. Palmer. Putting aside personal beliefs (VERY DIFFICULT) and listening to each other there were common threads... we cannot change unless:
1. We are willing to listen to each party and actually HEAR what they are saying.
2. We WORK together taking from each party and coming to a happy medium.
3. We get rid of the money behind politics, and perhaps bring morals back in.....
For me, figuring out what to do while still staying true to what I want to do (teach) and keeping my children's well being as number one is the true test. Above all, I know that I have FAITH that things will get better... for I am not alone...
For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.-psalm 91 11-12
Dear Heavenly Father,
You are the Most High and I truly believe you will command Your angels to watch over us. Please guard and protect especially Lee and Grady and their loved ones. Please help Carol's phone to ring, Stacy's computer to provide all she needs, Robin and me to find employment and peace within our walls at home. May we all remember to Thank you and to live each day to Glorify Your name.
Amen
