Every New Generation

God doesn’t love one person more than He loves another, or one nation more than He loves another. It is true that we have been a blessed nation, but only because our national creed has been a blessing on the world. The moment our blessing on others stops, so will our experience of being blessed.

Every new generation must relearn and recommit to the foundations of democracy; It can never be taken for granted. 

- Marianne Williamson

If Your Dreams Do Not Scare You...

“If your dreams do not scare you, they are not big enough.” 

- Ellen Johnson Sirleaf 

Sirleaf was the first female head of state on the continent of Africa. She has been working tirelessly ever since to strengthen the institutions of national security and good governance in her home country of Liberia.

For All Things Rising

For all things rising Out of the hiddenness of shadow Out of the weight of despair Out of the brokenness of pain Out of the constrictions of compliance Out of the rigidity of stereotypes Out of the prison of prejudice; For all things rising Into life, into hope Into healing, into power Into freedom, into justice; We pray, O God, For all things rising.
