ANOTHER VIEW: The question becomes: Are we today the enemies of justice?

By Ashley Herndon  |  Some of us may have heard the rumor that our state, country and many parts of the world are getting more unjust, not less.  Ouch.  At the same time, some claim we are the most civilized humans in history.  Tell that to the Ukrainians and others under fire in Africa, the Middle East and some places close to home.

ANOTHER VIEW: War. Violence. Greed. All are enemies of civilized life

By Ashley Herndon |  With all that is going on today across this country, it makes me wonder what do people do to handle the pain?  One of my mentors shared in a training class a few decades ago, “There is no such thing as stress, only the inability of some to handle outside pressure.”  That took a little thought and practice to achieve.

FOCUS: Honesty and integrity await resurrection; fight on!

By Ashley Herndon |  Never forgive evil, lying, violence, and cruelty, even less the fanatics using those tools pretending “the means are worth the end.”  

These people are poisoned and without study, there is a chance we may never see a positive end to our current crisis.  Yes Virginia, losing our democracy is in crisis.
