@__Shezi “i believe. Help my unbelief” - Mark 9:24

During the toughest parts of your life, what was your prayer? If it’s too long, please don’t share it. We’re going for brief and punchy.

"The first genocide in history where its victims are broadcasting their own destruction in real time in the desperate, so far vain hope that the world might do something." That was at the ICJ seven months ago.

48 years ago today, 10,000 Black children and teenagers took to the streets of Soweto, South Africa to protest against being forced to study in Afrikaans, the language of their white oppressors. 176 were killed and thousands injured when police fired into the crowd. 13 year-old Hector Pieterson was one of the first to die. This photo by Sam Nzima of his limp body being carried by a fellow student, flanked by his sister Antoinette Sithole, has come to immortalise that tragic day.

"The belief that we need to possess, and possess more than the other person or company or nation, is the driving force for much of the violence and war, corruption and exploitation on earth." - Lynne Twist in The Soul of Money #PeaceOnEarth

Here's a piece I just finished: "A Practical Appraisal of Palestinian Violence" stevesalaita.com/a-practical-ap…

“Our blood is not cheaper… this is cruel.” It’s no way you can watch these and say what’s happening to Palestinians is moral or justified. It’s evil. It’s sin. And it’s crimes against God and humanity.

Reminded yet again that much of war is a contest of stories: who gets to tell theirs, disseminate theirs, and how those build empathy and sympathy. Stories also dehumanise which is not only required for killing but also ensuring only some victims matter and others are ignored

@FemalePencil 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

The older I get, the more I realize that success at most things isn't about finding the one trick or secret nobody knows about. It's consistently doing the boring, mundane things everyone knows about but is too unfocused/undisciplined to do. Get good at boring.
