I've always loved a good quote, and this one, which I found this morning, caught my eye. It's very appropriate for the scary times we are facing at present:
“The politics of fear and anger are reigning. We need to become hopeful, courageous, faithful truth-tellers! Truth is the antidote to the abuse of power. The truth will set us free.”
Also, below, an interesting article on the author, Bryan Stevenson, a Harvard graduate, lawyer, professor at NYU, and author of the best-selling book, JUST MERCY, which was made into a powerful movie of the same name starring Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx. https://beatitudescenter.org/

Never heard of him! But comes across as a decent guy though.
"The truth will set you free." Well, these days i'm not sure about that. Just seems to me that the liars are winning all over the place.. plus they have power on their side to impose themselves on the weak and truth-tellers.
Archbishop Tutu called Bryan "Americas young Nelson Mandela." Well, he seems authentic in his nonviolence approach but Mandela took up arms against this oppressors in South Africa.
"The nonviolent Jesus Podcast.." Well, Jesus wasn't quite nonviolent, given his attack on the money changers in the temple
