"Why did you go that way?" asked the daughter. "To see where the road went," said the father. The parents of a dear friend liked to take drives on Sunday afternoons simply to see the countryside. The father has passed now, but his legacy lives in these words. Rest in peace, Mr. E. The deep wisdom of your words inspires me to take a path...just to see where it goes.

What you wrote puts words to my thoughts. How can it be that ‘christianity’ has been sullied by hate and fear? I do not recognize this new religion as the one I chose as a child. Love is faithful, kind, and humble. Love is forgiving, enduring and encompassing. If Jesus is the epitome of love, there are a lot of “name only christians“ who are clueless that Jesus is The Christ. I voted for candidates whose actions speak for Justice and Equality. I know it will not change the outcome in my county or state, but I needed to speak up and out, none the less.
I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
