On The Trail

 

Mississippi Kite
Colleyville, TX

From my perch like this kite, I see and hear many things good and bad.  I am not afraid to explore and spread my wings. I have to nourish myself and family and that requires effort, even if I don't want to get uncomfortable.

What I see and hear is disturbing. It's not remotely consistent with the lessons learned in church, specifically the Sermon on The Mount. Today, I would like to issue a warning "unless your righteousness surpasses that of the Pharisees and teachers of the law, you will certainly not enter the kingdom of heaven."

This means we will be held accountable for our inactions. We can't simply ignore what is going on today. Oh how I wish I could, but I can't, I am uncomfortable. My conscience troubles me and it's my compass. When was the last time you questioned yourself? Say something, do something. The times are changing. No time to be silent, no time to be complicit. Be present now.
