What I always felt made Lucas 4:18 different was....

What I always felt made Lucas 4:18 different was that they were 'real,' they didn't use words like 'Jesus,' 'God,' 'Prayer,' 'Bible...' like they were some sort of magic chant, fetish.... They all seemed to understand that God = Loving, Christ = Loving, Gospel = Loving, Jesus = Loving... Loving =  God; Loving = Church... and the whole deal is we are to not USE Jesus like some magic wand, but we are to BE CHRIST-LIKE, LIKE JESUS... LOVING. "Love as I have Loved...." "They will know you by how you Love." I see all that in their new picture here. Loving

Rolling Stone takes us inside the belly of the beast of the meat business - http://goo.gl/gBJzhV "You're trapped in a cage with six to eight hens, each given less than a square foot of space to roost and sleep in. The cages rise five high and run thousands long in a warehouse without windows or skylights. You see and smell nothing from the moment of your birth but the shit coming down through the open slats of the battery cages above you. It coats your feathers and becomes a second skin; by the time you're plucked from your cage for slaughter, your bones and wings breaking in the grasp of harried workers, you look less like a hen than an oil-spill duck, blackened by years of droppings."

DEC 9th, 2013 - More than 5 million Thai people got out on the streets to communicate something. The words "No Corruption!" have begun to flow in a huge ocean of conversation everywhere. We are in the process of redesigning our democracy to have it really work for our country. This is a never-before conversation and a new possibility in front of us. And we have lots to do from now on, for ourselves and the next generations.

PS: This is a non-violent move, we move with courage, peace and smiles
