Description

+ WELCOME +


This is group for those of us on the left side of the church and in our right minds. A place where Christians can come together to prayerfully support social justice, progressive values, and a politics of compassion. A place where progressive Democratic politics and Christian faith find their intersection at the point of prayer. To join a larger conversation, check out our "bigger sister" website: CrossLeft.org

CARTOON FOR THE DAY:
Steve Sack, Minnesota, The Minneapolis Star-Tribune



LATE NIGHT JOKE OF THE DAY:
"There's a new book that's coming out about Sarah Palin. And the book contains a copy of the speech she would have given if John McCain had won and she had became vice president. Yeah. The speech is entitled, 'Uh-oh.'" –Conan O'Brien



VOICE OF THE DAY:
Government support in the fight against poverty is crucial. Yet the year [of travel and observation] taught us never to sit back and rely on such commitments. Our politicians, in the final analysis, will follow our lead, not vice versa.
-- Jeffrey Sachs, from his book The End of Poverty



VERSE OF THE DAY:
Restore us to yourself, O Lord, that we may be restored; renew our days as of old.
-- Lamentations 5:21



PRAYER OF THE DAY:
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace; where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. O God, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to Eternal Life.

Numbers, not shouting, overwhelm health care debate
Regarding Universal Health care, I wonder "What would Jesus Vote?" And I really liked this editorial from Rep John Dingell on Yahoo.com.
