Talk & walk is cheap.

Love is costly & constant, always demanding of us, requiring us to set aside our preferences, wants, for others, mostly our family & neighbors.

Love is creating an atmosphere of warmth & approachability in your neighborhood....the door is always open, there's always one more spot at the dinner table, kids from the neighborhood feel that they can hang out on your porch without asking, they ask 'can you help me put my bike chain' back on?

Neighbors who ask to borrow vegetable oil, or ask for a ride to dialysis.

That's where 99% of our life as Christians should be spent.   Improving our neighbhorhood, not tilting windmills elsewhere

Not in noisy angry protest lines.

They only raise the tone of anger in society. Overused especially at NCR.

Sure it's a right, but if the charity isn't done at work, or in the neighborhood, or in the traffic line (as self-focused people check their email incessantly while driving!!!), then the protest work is just total utter BS.
