Influence or Control? // Bring the Noise // Revolution Time

1. "Always remember that you have less control than you think you do and greater influence than you think you do. Spend much more time on influence than control." Andrew Sandlin

2. Bring the Noise. Pastor Bill Smith encourages us from Psalm 47 to sing and speak vigorously. Lots of good stuff on glory and God's glory, here, too. And sports.

3. From a recent Facebook interaction I had:

That many minorities live in disadvantaged and difficult environments justifies none of this rioting. Police protect and help such communities overwhelmingly more than they make it worse. Race has nothing to do with this - people's behavior toward police has changed drastically. People, especially in cities, now disregard their authority, which puts their lives in danger, given their role, sparking more Jacob Blake incidents.

I can't believe you're justifying violence over these media-exaggerated/distorted incidents. (Example: George Floyd was OD'ed and couldn't breathe BEFORE they put him on the ground.) They are not "killing black people." You are being misled to believe a false narrative, by people who actually want to overthrow our government, replacing our Bill of Rights with safe spaces and proper thinking, replacing freedom with equality.

This is the French and Maoist Revolution rolled into one ugly beast.
