“Your beliefs become your thoughts,
Your thoughts become your words,
Your words become your actions,
Your actions become your habits,
Your habits become your values,
Your values become your destiny. — Lao Tzu
We Go Drifting Away
“We don’t go running away from our values.
We go drifting away, and one day wake up in a place we never meant to be,
drifting in a direction we would have never chosen.” — John G. Blumberg
Knowing What’s Right
“Knowing what’s right doesn’t mean much unless you do what’s right.” — Theodore Roosevelt
Truly Walk the Talk
“I think it’s because most of us talk one way and live another. There are a few people who truly, truly walk the talk.” — Olympia Dukakis
The Habit of Talking the Talk
“The habit of talking the talk has distracted many people from walking the walk.”― Edmond Mbiaka
Walking the Walk
It is easier to talk about matters of faith, religion, and spirituality than actually walking our faith out in daily life. We are surrounded by examples of this every day. But how we live will be remembered long after our words are forgotten.
As spiritual beings, we are called to live in this world but not to be of it, to not conform to the ways of the world. Yes, how we live matters. We are here on this earth to follow the way set before us by Spirit in love and truth.
Will it be easy? No. It never is. We will be ridiculed, excluded and possibly even threatened, but we keep on walking.
Please join us this month as we walk the walk.
Beautiful City
We end this month of building something better with this beautiful version of Beautiful City from Godspell by the South Shore Children’s Chorus virtual choir.

We Must Find the Common Ground
