Can you feel the love?

"We must act while we can, while the occasion exists, to exert those legitimate pressures available to us lest time run out and resort be had to less happy means. The great nations of the world would do well to remember that, in the modern age even their own fate is not wholly in their own hands. Peace requires the united efforts of us all. Who can foresee what spark might ignite the fuse? The stakes are identical for all of us. Life or death. We all wish to live. We all seek a world in which men are freed of the burdens of ignorance, poverty, hunger and disease."


Haile Selassie the 1st

"Women are like teabags... "

"Women are like teabags. We don't know our true strength until we are in hot water!"
-- Eleanor Roosevelt

"Anyone can give up, it's the easiest thing in the world to do. But to hold it together when everyone else would understand if you fell apart, that's true strength."
-- Author Unknown

Several conversations over the last few days had me remembering something I heard while having some high spirited communion with my family recently.  Actually, I've heard it often amongst this set of souls set adrift after being sold into bondage, who have found back one another in this time, to share bread and fellowship.  One man, not much older than me yet still esteemed as an Elder, had been ministering some upright reasoning while the rest of the group was sitting down to lunch.  "All Nations should and shall be judged by the way in which its treats its' women and children."  Simple and plain, truth without pretense.
