verse of the dayDeath and life are in the power of the tongue, and those who love it will eat its fruits.  – Proverbs 18:21

voice of the day

We must dissent from the indifference. We must dissent from the apathy. We must dissent from the fear, the hatred, and the mistrust. We must dissent from a nation that buried its head in the sand waiting in vain for the needs of its poor, its elderly, and its sick to disappear and just blow away … We must dissent, because America can do better, because America has no choice but to do better. – Justice Thurgood Marshall

prayer of the day

God, deliver us from fear. May we adopt the freedom of lilies and sparrows. – adapted from Common Prayer
