Rosa Parks, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, Fawziah al-Bakr, Annie Kenney and tens of thousands of other stood up (or sat down) for their rights. In this episode we don't focus so much on the courage and sacrifice that so many have made throughout history to fight for and defend civil rights... But we recount Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s words after his house was bombed. So many people are standing up today demanding justice and entitlements for themselves. So many are complaining about how they didn't get a fair shake... But our response cannot be to demand our own personal justice, or retribution--instead we must lay down our right and take up the plight of others, not in protest, but in action. What would happen if instead of focusing how we got dealt a bad hand in life, we focused on serving others around us and giving someone else what we never received?

★ Support this podcast ★In Weaver and Loom, we unravel the wonderment of the spiritual, natural, fate, and the divine through mythic and sacred story, biblical parables, ancient fables, and Christ-haunted narratives--getting lost in the mysteries of the our human creation so that we might grope our way to Christ and become illuminated in midsts of the mundane and sufferings of life.
