“God loves a liberal giver. We were created to be givers, not getters”.
Those words permeated the small sanctuary Sunday morning as we listened to the sermon.
Simple words. No political inklings to them. Yet so profound because they came from the most conservative of settings known to lean a certain way – politically.
As we argue whether spreading the wealth is bad or good, remember those who struggle daily:
- Marginalized by society
- Born geniuses with no financial means to let the world witness their genius
- Silent warriors who battle physical and emotional odds
- Selfless heroes who never scream it from the mountain tops.
“Where you live should not decide whether you live or whether you die”, Bono belts out passionately on the U2 tune, Crumbs from Your Table.
Unfortunately, those lyrics remain ideal, but the ideal that “I am my brother’s keeper” is within reach.
Let your voice be heard loud and clear.
Go vote.

Apt words and stunning image. There is so much wealth and so little of it is shared. I wish those with the funds would open their eyes and look around.
Beautiful!
