Wendi thank you. I ping pong around my emotions realizing I'm angry because I'm hurting so much. Each of us has three basic needs.... safety, belonging, and dignity. Right now it's my sense of belonging that is threatened . Who are these strangers I live amongst? I thought we wanted the same kind of community... One of caring, support, respect, kindness, and were willing to pay for it, to work for it, and sacrifice for it. However more than 50% don't seem to care or out right only want it for themselves. Like you I die to defend the Vision but as Gandhi said not kill for it. Nonviolence is the only way to peace. Blessings on your ministry.
Exactly. It’s hard not to hate the people whose hate and violence endangers lives, but if I hate them or hope someone harms them that’s another win for them and I’ve made the world worse, not better.
