treatment of other folks with respect. Judgement should not stand in the way of meeting others where they are. Being open to the trials of your fellow human or animal or whatever kinda sorta is what Jesus would do, and demonstrated during his ministry. A prime example of that is our local Salvation Army that feeds about 200 plus per day at the food kitchen. This organization is staffed by volunteers and run by (once again) a director who is not paid. Nor the bell ringers, bless their hearts.
Which brings me to an epiphany, Not that I didn't see it coming but because the new world order is pretty damn scary. There are authoritarian leaders all over the world who have cultists following them. Some elections are not fair. I was once a part of a voter tracking thing locally. My friend and I worked our asses off publishing a magazine devoted to that end. The budget was small and it lasted about a year or less. We were promised support from other contributors that never happened, I don't regret the experience, but I learned from it. And here we go.
* remember who you are and from whence you came
* Smile or cry or vent when you need to. Nothing is worse than a fake persona or anything fake. Phone a friend when times get hard. And always keep the faith ^j^
