There aren't nearly enough people standing up against violent actions,
derogatory speech, and demeaning attitudes towards women.
It's clear because there are so many atrocious behaviors that are accepted or even encouraged
in our society--or worse yet, deemed as "cool." And while these
attitudes exist, sexual and domestic violence is more likely to happen.
We can combat violent language, actions, and anti-women sentiment by
learning which things are not okay to do or say and sharing this
knowledge with our friends. You may even discover that there are habits
that you aren't aware of that are hurting others in the process.
For today's Daily action, learn how you can change yourself and
how you can help stand up for your sisters, mothers, friends, and all
the other important women in your life.
I confess this is true on so many levels on so many issues. This edition of the blog is an attempt to change that reality. Lord Help us, Jesus to remember that there is only one Race on the planet called Earth and that is the Human Race--We are indeed Family and Family takes loving care of each other no matter the cost and no matter how they differ.

Ooops! I am sorry that there is no point to clicking on to this picture, because there will not be a video. Either because of copy rights or my own inexperience with computers.

World powers weighed tough options to end brutality in Syria amid the aftermath of the now-infamous massacre in Houla.
A video has emerged of a young boy signing “Ain’t no homos gonna make
it to Heaven” before a church congregation, whereby the congregation
claps and hoots and makes him perform it again.
In the video (h/t Matthew Paul Turner) the child sings:
“The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong.
The Bible’s right, somebody’s wrong.
Romans one, twenty six and twenty seven;
Ain’t no homos gonna make it to Heaven.”
IF I copied it correctly--I do mean If--when one click onto the picture the video should play with the poor innocent boy singing . . . . :.(...
And here we go again: another depressing story of misogyny in Afghanistan.
On Tuesday, May 29, 160 schoolgirls and teachers were admitted to a hospital after a suspected poisoning at a school in Afghanistan’s northern Takhar province.
The female students, ranging in age from 10 to 20 years old, had been
poisoned in their classrooms by a contaminated spray that caused the
girls to suffer from vomiting, headaches, and dizziness. The attack
occurred at the Ashan Dara Girls School in Talokhan, the provincial
capital.
A report by Radio Free Afghanistan
said that some of the girls reported smelling a foul odor before
falling unconscious. One of the victims of the attack told the press
that, “When I entered the class I smelled something and then I started
to vomit and fall unconscious; I don’t remember what happened after
that.”
We Humans are indeed our own worst enemy. We must change--We must change--We must change! After all, the Christian Far Right is only one step behind doing the very same thing.
After all--Here in the United States--In the Name of Jesus-->
From the website of New Orleans Women's Health Clinic which specifically helped "
marginalized women," poor women, women of color, and transgender women as well as HIV/AIDS patients:
Thanks
to the fast response of all of our supporters across the country, many
of you have already heard that our office was broken into last night and
set on fire. The worst damage was concentrated in our community
organizing and outreach office where we store all of the resources we
use to educate our community. We lost everything. We do not have an
office to operate out of right now. Most of our office equipment and
all of our educational resources were destroyed. Because of the
targeted nature, we can only assume that this was intentional.

AS IF!!!
I am sorry for being this dark--but there is too much darkness in the
world to ignore it. After all, ignoring it will not make it go away. We
can not support the haters by keeping silent about their evil deeds. We
need to expose their evil deed to the light of knowledge so that they
be held responsible and their evil deeds become a thing of the past that
happen no longer.--Especially The Evil Deed of Hate In The Holy Name Of
Jesus, Who LOVED the World So Much that He Gave His Life to Save It.
