stand up. speak up.

"Seeking justice and
respecting the image of God
in everyone requires
knowing when to speak up &
when to gracefully stay silent."
-Julie Clawson, Everyday Justice

a revolutionary idea.
because we are not only called to love
those who are in need of justice
somewhere far, far away
in a distance third-world nation.
we are also called to love even those around us:
the privileged, the comfortable, the ones who have.

What makes us think that
God will send us to love the people
in dire situations of Cambodia,
when we can't even love the people
in stressful situations around us?
