Watching AOC rally yesterday. They really need to find a different word for “oligarchy.” They need to find a different way to talk about “income inequality.” They are on the right message, but those words don’t resonate. They still sound like they are lecturing.

In 1990, thousands of Americans with disabilities decided to stop waiting for elected officials to act. Their efforts changed the minds — and the votes — of elected officials and resulted in the passage of the Americans with Disabilities Act. We can’t wait for our leaders to act. We have to lead.

Interesting. I have spent the last few weeks sharing Bible verses about the poor and immigrant on FB. I thought I would lose a lot of “friends” I have lost a few. But gained many more younger generations and non religious friends who are intrigued by an alternative to political evangelicalism.

There is no such thing as “the sin of empathy.” God is love. And the world will know that we are Christians by our love.

I have an experiment going on Facebook. Each day I am posting one Bible passage addressing the treatment of immigrants, the poor and the vulnerable. Sometimes it will be a Bible passage on the dangers of trusting in wealth or power. I am not commenting, posting the words straight from the Bible.

There are many versions of Christianity that simply use the faith as a way of escaping this world, rather than something that compels us to transform it. I believe in life after death. But I also believe God cares about life before death.

Exclusive: US CDC plans study into vaccines and autism, sources say - www.reuters.com/business/hea... Nothing says “combat waste” like studying something that has been repeatedly and exhaustively studied already.

Find a local homeless mission or shelter and volunteer or donate. They are going to need all the help they can get as housing programs shutter, unemployment rises, assistance for mental illness and addiction is slashed, and immigrants are forced into hiding.
