We have entered a time and space of awakening or uncovering. Our footsteps are heavier, our whispers are magnified, a light is being shined in places that were once cast in shadow. People are being unmasked to reveal who they truly are. There is nothing that is done that can be hidden.
At the same time we are all being called to action. We are called upon to make a stand; to take a side. We are called on to demonstrate what it is we believe, the strength of our resolve, our mettle. Your voice, your actions, and your inaction are all significant, because even your silence is speaking volumes, sometimes speaking louder than words.
. We all must do something.
We all must do our part.
Now is the time to shape the world and mold it into what we want it to be.
John F. Kennedy said it best in a 1963 commencement address he made to American University.
“We shall also do our part to build a world of peace where the weak are safe and the strong are just. We are not helpless before that task or hopeless of its success. Confident and unafraid, we must labor on–not towards a strategy of annihilation but towards a strategy of peace. Too many of us think it is impossible. Too many think it is unreal. But that is a dangerous, defeatist belief. We need not accept that view. Our problems are man-made; therefore, they can be solved by man. “
We must do what is in our power to do from our sphere of influence. There are no small efforts.

One response to “Do Something”
“We must do what is in our power to do from our sphere of influence. There are no small efforts” spoken by John F. Kennedy. No truer words have ever been spoken but true to the mark many do not understand those small efforts. Some see them as inconsequential moments of reflection and do not recognize the contributions of these small efforts as enough. Many are making them and being cautious because they must overcome those values that have been drilled in them over a lifetime. It is interesting that many people only step upon the stage of action when something happens that have a direct bearing upon their lives. What we have experienced is just the first stage of a battle the real test is yet to come. When the dust of this skirmish has settled will we return to our perches of self morality or will we turn back to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ! I do wish to be offensive but until we search our change our hearts deep down all we have done is put a crack in the wall. It is progress because after the 70s and 80s rolled by I wrote in a newspaper article that the wall has only been scratched but still stand tall. Today it must be forever broken down or all many of us will see in this lifetime is a glimpse of the promise land. Your call to do something is inspiring and thought provoking so let us all be about our Father’s business.
