I find Eric Liu’s sermons from his book, “Become America” inspiring. I have been hosting “Civic Saturdays” to listen to his sermons with anyone who is interested. It’s a 10AM zoom, but sessions are recorded and are available by e-mailing codger817@gmail.com.
They are 8 years old, but they mirror the present day perfectly because the same grifter is in office again, even though 68% of the electorate did not vote for him.
Here’s the conclusion of today’s sermon
…..”We who believe in inclusion and integrity can’t out-cynicism the likes of Bannon and Trump. We can out-believe them. We can out-love them, out-trust them, out-mobilize them, out-imagine them. Out joy them. Have you seen Donald J. Trump smile with joy? He cannot. We must. We must do that at home. With our neighbors. With strangers we encounter face to face. And with strangers we can’t see or touch but can imagine.
Trump is weak, not strong, That’s why he has to use a strategy of chaos creation. The people are strong, not weak. That’s why we mustn’t panic. Persist, believe, organize. Do so with love, and with joy. In our laws, our acts, and our hearts this land is our land.”
