I am a Human Being


The protests are is strong than ever; the 8pm curfew in NYC has been lifted. The UK, Spain, France, New Zealand, and Canada are among the other Countries protesting for “Black Lives Matters”.
When this all gets resolved or settles, I pray that the spirit remains in the heart of all protesting, and those that support the cause. I pray that those who have problems with it will rethink their position but if they can’t, I want them to realize that people of color are human beings as well.


The judicial, political, and law enforcement systems are not the only ones that need reforming. Societies around the globe need reforming.
We as people need to think about our prejudices, our preferences and be brave to fight against the need to belong when what we are witnessing is not right; when what we are witnessing feels wrong in our heart and soul.
One of my favorite Biblical quotes from Jesus is “Treat others as you would like to be treated”.  Please remember, if you love your neighbors as you love yourself, you won’t harm others because in doing so you will damage your life as well.
