When I was in academia I heard many discussions about how America would be better off if it didn’t have a white majority. Mass immigration from non-white nations was seen as a means to accelerate change. It was part of reimagining America. Now it seems like all the theories once debated at seminars and workshop presentations are becoming realities through public policies and failures to enforce the laws of the land. I was too naive to know that the people around me had the ability to radically change America. I never imagined that the doors to our nation would be propped wide open. I never knew we would go backwards on civil rights enforcement.
Silly, me! 🙃 What was I thinking? I guess I wasn’t thinking hard enough. #Immigration #RuleOfLaw
I’m reading the love scriptures today. What is love and how do we know when it is flourishing in our lives?
Here’s a very special and appropriate scripture for today.
“You have searched me, Lord, and you know me. You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar.
You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways.
Before a word is on my tongue you, Lord, know it completely.
You hem me in behind and before, and you lay your hand upon me.
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.
Where can I go from your Spirit? Where can I flee from your presence?
If I go up to the heavens, you are there; if I make my bed in the depths, you are there.
If I rise on the wings of the dawn, if I settle on the far side of the sea, even there your hand will guide me, your right hand will hold me fast.
If I say, “Surely the darkness will hide me
and the light become night around me,”
even the darkness will not be dark to you; the night will shine like the day, for darkness is as light to you.
For you created my inmost being; you knit me together ...
