Sister Joan Chittister famously said, "We are each called to go through life reclaiming the planet an inch at a time until the Garden of Eden grows green again." Reflecting on that journey -- a blog at a time -- is the focus of this site.

What Ellen said ...
"When the message out there is that if you're gay you can get killed for it, we need to change the message."
Good for Ellen. She typically shies away from anything with even a whiff of the political, so I'm glad she decided to do that segment.
Regardless of anyone's religious convictions, we are not second class citizens, and our country needs to recognize this apart from religion, and renounce and counter the kind of violence that took this young man's life and surely has destroyed the life of the shooter as well. God forgive us, as a society, for allowing this kind of hatred to happen.

Seems obvious, doesn't it?
