Vote no on cloture we all need to fight!

There’s a rally going on. A few federal workers have spoken, but the sound system isn’t projecting far and it’s pretty tough to hear —

“We’re tired of the executive branch putting us at risk. We need our fellow Americans to stand up with us … we need Congress to take action.”

It was the US that backed down. Columbia had already implemented a 25% tariff on u.s. imported goods. Tit for tat. US apologized for not following protocols and promised to in the future, and then Columbia relented. Dont believe a word he says.

So, let us continue to sow seeds of hope even when the ground seems unyielding. In time, those seeds may grow into something beautiful, helping others to rise above their struggles and become sowers of hope themselves.

     3       Shine as Light: Jesus encourages us to let our light shine before others (Matthew 5:16). In the darkest moments, our light can help others find their way. Whether through small gestures or significant acts, we can reflect hope and inspire others to believe that better days are ahead.

2       Cultivate the Soil: Just as the sower gives the seeds a chance, we can help others prepare their "soil" by being patient, supportive, and compassionate. Sometimes all someone needs is a listening ear or a reminder that they’re not alone.

1       Sow Generously: Our words of encouragement, acts of kindness, and presence in someone’s life can be the seeds of hope they need. Even if we can’t see the immediate impact, every act of goodness has the potential to grow.

Some may fall on rocky ground or among thorns, but some will land on fertile soil and grow, producing a harvest of light and transformation.
This parable calls us to:

In times of darkness, it’s easy to feel like the seeds of hope may not take root. But as the parable reminds us, it’s not about controlling the soil; it’s about faithfully sowing the seeds.
