Building community.
You can get lost in the brokenness and complete chaos the media forces on your heart
Or
You can stand up
Clear your eyes
And begin to build community where you are.
The daily interaction with the people around you
Is what impacts us.

I have a new respect for dandelions.
'Dandelions,' was painted by the Danish artist Bertha Wegmann around 1910. It wasn't an arbitrary choice of a plant to paint: the dandelion was used to promote the women’s liberation movement in Scandinavia because of its capacity for uncontrolled, strong-willed growth.

My brother was the person on the tarmac for 20 years. What a dishonor to those men and women who do this honorable work.
Lithuanian president & people paid their respects to 4 American servicemen who died during training exercise.
When the soldier’s remains arrived at Dover Air force Base, no US president was there to honor them on behalf of a grateful nation.
Trump was golfing & will dine with rich Saudis
