165. Speak Truth to Power
I have a friend who is the most activist friend I have ever had in the category of war and peace. She goes on marches, she writes letters, she gets group to visit congress people. She has her senators and her representative’s phone numbers on her cell phone so that she can call them quickly when there is a need.
She believes in what she does. She feels that when her grandchildren say to her “Well, during this time that was so bad, what did you do?” she wants to be able to answer with a list of concrete actions that she has taken.
And she does all of this from a solid foundation of faith—this is exactly what she believes Jesus would have her do. And she does it. She speaks truth to power.
