Sister, As it is very applicable that if we want peace to work for justice that when we want peace to work for peace itself. Wow, Patricia, what great discernment here, my so, so very dear friend and sister!!!!! There is very much indeed a very deep inter-relatedness of all of the issues which beset us as a people and a common human family in our as our so very dear, late Rev.

Sister, I thank-YOU for this beautiful quote which you have used here from our very astounding late Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. I remember that when I was in the second grade in Catholic school when I used to be Catholic in the 1969-1970 school year when I was seven-years-old that I read a children’s book about our Rev. Dr.Martin Luther King, Jr. I did a book report on the book! I made a promise to our Sweet Jesus that I wanted to be like our late great Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. in so loving and reaching out to all of God”s people like in loving and reaching out to white persons and to all of our Sweet Spirit’s children. Wow, I remember that time very well and making my promise. I even renewed that sacred promise to our Good God when I was 24 in 1986 and just knowing and so wanting and longing for so yearning to be a minister someday, sister! Even though I’m not an official, ordained minister, sisterfriend, I try to minister to people in the very way I live my life and with being a prayer warrior praying without ceasing for YOU, sister, and for each and every one of you as our So So Very Loving Spirit’s children and my sisters and brothers!!!!! Patricia, I pray for and think of daily and very frequently YOU, my awesome sister, your so very dear husband, your Loved One in the long term care facility, for your great children, your precious grandchildren, for your wonderful siblings and all of the rest of your beloved family, for your superbly super and blessedly pure in heart friendsfamily at your Friends Meeting at Cambridge, for your yoga class friends, for all of your very endearing friends, and I pray for all people, too, sending to each and every one of you such great positive energy!!!!!! Wow, I so, so very much love and enjoy praying and it is my very joy, honor, blessing, and pleasure and just such great fun for me to pray as well. Sister, I thank-YOU so for letting us know when Easter was in 1967. I would’ve been curious about that and, in fact, I often google when holidays were in past years and google when holidays will be in future years. Sister,, the title of this absolutely outstanding and awe-inspiring blog post article here is just perfect, absolutely perfect here and very applicable to the great theme and topic of this very fine and excellent writing here! The picture which you have very graciously and generously featured and included with this very powerful article provides such a nice touch to your very engaging writing here. I first saw the three trees in the background and I thought of Jesus on Jesus’s cross with the two other people of their crosses and then I saw the other two trees in the foreground. I thought at first that you had selected the picture with the three trees that could symbolize the three crosses until I then saw the other two trees in the foreground. I thank-YOU as well, friend of mine, Patricia, for the marvelous link which you have very generously and graciously included with this very empowering blog post article here. Wow, sister Christian Quaker woman of mine Patricia you help me so with my very walk with Jesus!!!!! Wow!!!!! Yay!!!!!!
