Today, I have been moved to share a quote by one of my Seminary teachers, the late Dr. James H. Cone because there is an effluvia(heavy) if not a patina(light)--depending on how you view it-- of oppression and suppression that still permeates and is evident in our society. Yes, in our workplaces, our houses of worship in our personal relationships and in our less intimate corporate relationships. I pray and I pray and God answers prayer either immediately or eventually. But, there is more needed. Have to give those prayers feet.
"To sing about freedom and to pray for its coming is not enough. Freedom must be actualized in history by oppressed peoples who accept the intellectual challenge to analyze the world for the purpose of changing it." ~ James H. Cone
Change must be on the horizon,prayed and striven for. We still need social security, ACA- Medicaid and Medicare and end to war and senseless gun violence. Keep praying,keep watching what is happening on Capitol Hill and in the highest seats of government. I will continue to pray,ask God's direction and ask you to do the same.
