My Hero...For Real

[vulnerablelove]

Through violence you may murder a murderer, but you can't murder murder. 
Through violence you may murder a liar, but you can't establish truth. 
Through violence you may murder a hater, but you can't murder hate. 
Darkness cannot put out darkness. Only light can do that. 
(Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. "Where Do We Go From Here?")

I want to memorize this

This is phenomenal, and it is so much of what I love about your heart.

FOR REAL :-D

Really nice, Erin. Contemplation which involves action. This is very worthy of memorizing, and i'd love for you to quote it to me once you have it down. I'd like to encourage you to not stop there; where do YOU go from here? How can you provide light so that the darkness can be put out? I love ya Erin, and i really hope your passion drives you further into action, all the while allowing your passion to grow. You are lovely, and i hope you feel blessed today.

In Christ's love,
~Jacob

You know...I'm sitting in a war-torn country, surrounded by fellow warriors, with a rifle slung over my back and a pistol strapped to my leg...and there's nothing my heart aches for more than for non-violent action to be enough.

Please, please Erin, tell everyone you ever meet about this message. The idea that we can solve things without fighting, without killing...it's so important. Apart from the message of Salvation, it might very well be the most important thing in the world. Trust me...I know. And I thank you for what you're doing.

"There is no one who wants an end to war more than the one who has to fight in it. A soldier's dearest hope is that he will one day be unemployed."
-A quote from a WWII Chaplain. it always makes me smile.
