Watching Eleanor Roosevelt documentary.

 In the 1930s  eighty six (86) black women were lynched.

Various police and private events in the last couple years have resulted in the deaths of black women and men.

Almost everyone will acknowledge that a white would not have been killed.  I am available to discuss.

Are we as a society still lynching? 

Is our mind set contributing to this reality?

An ache in the gut.

 In time this too will pass. Decent. Respectful.

Shifting topic a bit, I have sons who are as above.

They say, "just do the job".

I am smiling as my mind continues in .......

Barber number one changed days.

 Barber number two told of hiking a Mt Katahdin trail to the top in six rather than the normal twelve hours. I was impressed.  We were turned back by boulders and wind.

Galatians 5:22

 But the fruit of the spirit is love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, gentleness, patience and self control. Against such things there is no law.

Approximately twenty five words in the top paragraph.  Let me think. STILL THINKING. 

Paul wrote Galatians 5:19 and 5:22.

Doesn't seem to be much of a choice.  

God is Love.

 I picked up a guide book. It happens to contain old and new. In the new is Galatians.

Chapters and verses were numbered. Galatians 5:19.

As always best practices is to read verses before and after.

There is no law against being kind. Jimmy Carter is kind. Barbara Bush was kind.  Barbara Bush demanded kindness from son and spouse. 

How about selfish. Is Jimmy Carter selfish? Is Jimmy Carter a name caller. Day after day after day does Jimmy Carter call people names? 

I think Jimmy Carter prays for everyone. I was going to write that he prays for ALMOST everyone but I like the preceding sentence better.

I guess if I went to anyone for voting advice, I would never rule out Jimmy Carter.

Good just plain good.

 In the title above good people just are.

Sadly, nasty, nasty person brings boos at public time of respect.

A nasty individual seems only to increase the reprehensible behavior.  A bully, a name caller,  a supposed national example.

And some are supporters. Racists bigots. Sad.
