Let my people go........and while you're at it, let all the people go!!

So much for posting here every few days!! I am in crazy mode at the present time. I have been asked to fill a pulpit this Sunday for a Minister who was taken ill. I have a service at the end of this month at my home church, a presentation at the Napa church the Sunday before Christmas and a service to prepare for my home church on the programs at my Internship site, the UULM, to be co-presented with my mentor/supervisor. Plus... I have a training to do for clergy and seminarians on healthcare at the end of January. And the governor is not budging on THAT subject, don't get me started...... Finally I have to arrange several “UU Voices for Healthcare” trainings at UU churches around the Bay. Hence I have not posted much!!

Anyway – I was planning the end of December service with Luther, a man from my church who I admire, and he commented that I seem to be profoundly am influenced by the writings of Dr. King. The more I read of his writings, the more I believe that he was, at the time of his death, moving from his position as a champion for civil rights for blacks, to a believer that which afflicted black people, afflicted all people who were poor, albeit minus the additional oppression that comes with their skin color. He would have been a powerful voice for economic justice for all people had he lived. I am sad to consider the situation we are in today and to imagine what he might have accomplished had his life not been cut short.

That’s all I can write now, except to say that I came across a quote a few months ago that I would like to share:

Who we listen to determines what we hear.
Where we stand determines what we see.
What we do determines who we are."
-Robert McAfee Brown

Peace & Blessings for the journey,
