Building STRONG THREADS...
"Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly affects all indirectly."
Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Letter From a
Birmingham Jail, April 16, 1963.
Recent world events, especially in America, have pushed me
out of my comfort zone to seek out like minded souls who want to make a
difference for the future of our children. I am praying to my Lord Jesus Christ
for guidance in this new endeavor. MLK established the framework for justice
for all of us with this quote. We are all expected to do something wherever we
are. Even if it's just reaching out to change something for one girl, boy, man
or woman.
The massacres in Charleston, SC, the excruciatingly painful
election season, the unjust murders by police officers and of police officers, horrendous
school shootings and other heinous activities in this country rankles like an
alarm bell in my spirit. Changing the world is a daunting task for anyone, no
matter the means or the motives. For example, President Obama has been trying
to do that from his powerful position as the leader of the free world. He has
repeatedly been hampered by evil opposition. The wealthy benefactors have been
trying to do this with money, like Bill and Melinda Gates, and they meet
obstacles. Consequently, I believe you can only change the world if you start
with individuals. The minds and hearts of individuals must change and want a
better quality of life, not just for themselves, but for everyone.
