Dear white people,
For days you’ve asked me what you can do to help. I’ve finally found an answer.

Let your guard down and listen.

[Laura DeVries @LLDeVries]

There are too many branches on my decision tree! @trdevries reminded me that when it comes to making the best decisions, facts are our friends and I need to wait until I collect more friends!

“We are caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied in a single garment of destiny. Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly”. - Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

[Laura DeVries @LLDeVries]

Our call to love one another is a sacred privilege best expressed in bearing one another’s burdens. When we do, our own don’t feel quite as heavy.

[Laura DeVries @LLDeVries]

@viola_pastor Worth a ponder ... Perhaps the side that contributes to the relationship is a community itself. The tourist is visiting.

[Laura DeVries @LLDeVries]

I believe authentic relationships are characterized by reciprocity. Healthy relationships are enjoyed when both parties contribute in ways that build up while unhealthy relationships in ways where one or both tear down. If there is no reciprocity, you’re really just a tourist.

Don't reduce MLK to an annual quote on social media.

Live out the dream
Seek first the Kingdom of God
Confront evil
Be a truth-teller
Seek justice
Advocate for the poor
Pursue reconciliation
Love your neighbors
Forgive your enemies

Live a committed life of peace, love, justice!

“Christian life is not a life divided between times for action and times for contemplation. No. Real social action is a way of contemplation, and real contemplation is the core of social action.”

People don’t resist change, they resist loss. #RCA, #sheiscalled

I’m not interested in who started separating migrant children from their parents. I’m interested who will stop it. #justice

Inspired at #GLS19 by these two justice seekers!

I love late Saturday night on Twitter because all the trolls are already in bed resting up for church.
