What thrives... what has been opened up... started now in our nation...
are corruption, inequality, hatreds, intolerances, greed, manipulation, exploitation, lust for power, abuses of power and desire for status with insanity, "alternative facts" and false patriotism with a false, sick, hateful civil religion and INSECURITY for our nation.
In the midst of all this,
WE DARE NOT SHUT DOWN!
Stay healthy! Stay aware that this is not normal or necessary! Stay committed! Stay vigilant! Stay active in opposition to all that is being shut down and all that is replacing it!
In the face of all this chaos, uncertainty and insanity - WE DARE NOT SHUT DOWN!
We must again open up!
Keep the Faith! Keep on the Pressure!
Pastor Jamie
