Good company in a journey makes the way seem shorter. — Izaak Walton
The cusp of Spring, 2019
Thank you for joining me!
This journey is about people uniting around two common purposes. The first being to recover the practice of living compassionately, as Jesus did and as he plainly instructed his followers to.
The second purpose is to care for the Earth, the common home of all humanity, and to care for all the Earth’s creatures as well. Our good will and our commitment to care for all doesn’t stop with our own species.
Some might characterize this merry band of do-gooders as a bunch bleeding hearts, tree-huggers and animal extremists.
And we’d say: “Gee, thanks for the compliment!”
I simply say: “thank you for stopping by to see what the FSF is all about!”

I am a man who strives to be compassionate and believes that the life and teachings of Jesus still show us how to live and how to treat others in the 21st Century.***I believe that the tide of ugliness coming from elected officials and so-called leaders of the evangelical churches is a tragedy and must be countered with a renewed emphasis on modeling the compassion, teaching and life of Jesus.***I also believe that we have failed miserably in our stewardship of the Earth, our common home, and that this is also a grave failure of our corporate will and must be addressed.***These two horrible trends--the abrogation of the clear teachings of Jesus to follow in his footsteps and our failings to care for the Earth and all its inhabitants--must be resisted, must be countered with clear teachings and committed actions.***That is the mission, the driving force, behind our movement.

Or as Ram Dass said, “We are all just walking each other home.”
I’m so honored to be on this journey home with you, Ben and the rest of this merry band of do-gooders.
