“I feel grief in this moment. Grief for the harm already being done. Grief for the people who feel they cannot question what they have come to believe. Grief for a country that is struggling to name what it is experiencing. Grief for the earth herself, bearing the weight of decisions driven by power, greed and extraction rather than care and wisdom.” Yes. That and more. 💔🙏💔
Except from today's UCC devotional by Kenneth L. Samuel: by "The weapons we form to destroy others do backfire." The admin set out to destroy Iran are now surprised that it has backfired and has boomeranged into our lives instead.
It is way past time to stand up and be counted. God, if you believe, gave us, the human race, the ability of conscious thought and the ability to decipher right from wrong. It is at this point we need to use that intellect to protect our world. It is not God who will save or destroy our world, it is us, the human race.
I truly appreciate your faith and your counsel however, the people of the world and in particular, the people of the United States need to stand up for themselves. Otherwise Trump and his Reich are moving toward WWIII and the destruction of world order and possibly the human race. I say this because he has no logical or reasonable options left. A cornered rat is the most dangerous rat!!!
I feel all of the grievances you so eloquently describe. We are in a very sad place in history. Thank you for your true service and this sacred liturgy of truth. God Bless you and our world. May we find peace and justice.
