In reply to Jean Wise. I'm doing this with you, Jean. I've been reading and watching and listening and praying to know what steps to take next.

Listening does come first and that is my first step. I am going to open my heart in prayer and ask that hidden misbeliefs be revealed. Hard to do but it’s time.

In reply to Anne Sweet. You're right, Anne; first learning why is a necessary step. When it's skipped, we can make a mess. I'm sure I've done that too. So thankful for grace to cover all the mistakes we make along the way!

In reply to Louise (Little Hearts, Big Love). Listening and learning is so valuable, Louise. If we could all have done more of that, we might not be in this situation to begin with. Thanks for what you're doing.

In reply to Debbie Wilson. Wouldn't it be wonderful if justice really could be fair and impartial? I love that thought, Debbie. May it become so. With humans involved, I know we'll always be prone to error, but hopefully we can and will do much better.

In reply to Jeanne Takenaka. I continue to pray about my heart, too. It's worrisome when we can't see our own blind spots! But trusting God and friends to help me see what I have yet to see. Thanks, Jeanne.

In reply to Lois Flowers. I appreciate how thoughtful everyone has been with their words. I know our opinions can vary, but we all remain convinced that God loves everybody and so should we. With that foundation, we can push forward together! Thanks for your encouragement, Lois.

A very thought provoking post and I think too many people would rather that others not speak out at all, all the more reason to do so. But, it’s important to learn why first.

This is very thought-provoking and I think it is important to be challenged on our reasons for not speaking up against inequality. I know I don’t speak up anywhere near as much as I should but I do try and listen to the voices of others and learn from them. Thank you for making me think a little more and question my silence on things. #WotW
