"I don't have to know how the whole week will unfold to take the first step”
“Faith is love turned inside out.Where its existence removes all doubt”~Stanley Wotring
And with those two quotes, the pastor gathered up her sermon and left the pulpit….
“A Little Less Talk And A Lot More Action" is a song written by Keith Hinton and Jimmy Alan Stewart. Originally recorded by American country music singer Hank Williams Jr. on his 1992 album Maverick, the song was also recorded by Toby Keith one year later on his self-titled debut album. And it was all I could think about after I saw this on Stacker Robert Reich’s post
Is this all that's left of #nokings? Are we got to sit around and continually complain about DEAD TACO FOTUS and the gang that couldn't shoot straight or are we going to sit on our butts and do nothing? It took the suffrage movement decades before women were given the right to vote. The year I graduated high school was the year women were allowed to apply for loans in their own names. Only five years ago in a landmark case-Bostock v Clayton County- SCOTUS ruled to protect employees from discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation or gender identity…just a few examples to remind us that anything worth having is worth fighting for.
When I started this stack I thought it was a way to teach social service people ( I once was one) what it was like to be on the other side of the desk as a homeless person. When my marriage of 23 years was terminated officially last week, it ended with a whimper after a year of banging on the door to let me out. Saturday was a day where the biggest protests in American history happened. And I kind of feel like the guy in that panel above. Now what?
America is a country in deep denial. Out legs on your words and do something. Our foundational documents employee and empower us to fight for our country and it’s standards as free people. We talk a good talk, but we hired a known felon who was backed by an illegal immigrant and hired a bunch of people who have little or no understanding of their jobs … as the White House rose garden is being turned into a patio!?
#NoKings won't change anything if we allow this chaos to continue. Faith is love turned inside out. Question remains how?
Be safe out there and remember that there is always hope
Taking the first step is often the hardest-especially for someone like me who likes to color-code every hour of every day. Thank you for this reminder. 💛
Thanks Andrea for the mention!
