Keeping One's Talents Above Ground

So many people feel so overwhelmed and disempowered by the stresses of modern life that they convince themselves they can't make a difference. So they don't even try. They bury their talents in the ground and let their spirits wither on the vine of life. I hope they will bestir themselves at least to say every day as an anonymous old man did: "I don't have the answers, life is not easy, but my heart is in the right place." Marian Wright Edelman Guide My Feet
This tip from Rev. Sandi with this note-
Virg: She is an advocate for our children. She wants to rebuild a sense of community and hope and civility and caring and safety for all our children Imagine...all of us, in the midst of tenuous economic times, on-going war, and political campaigns, making a difference in the life of a child. It's up to us.
