I was pointed to this speech by Fredrick Douglass in a podcast I was listening to today. It was delivered on December 9, 1860. It is as timely today, as it was then. I would encourage each of us to take the few minutes that is required to read it.

This past weekend was spent loading a U-Haul and traveling to Iowa City, Iowa. Ethan is off on his next grand adventure, University of Iowa Law.
His apartment is nice. The town is fantastic. The campus is beautiful.
Amy and I are so proud of him!
Lake day.
Some days are just built different! Yesterday, we spent the day in Detroit hanging out, exploring, laughing, eating, and being present to one another. Life is good.

As I have read and researched more about this budget bill that was passed today, many verses ran through my mind, this one seems most apropos.
Do you think that there will ever come a time again where we can have public dialogue about ideas without dehumanizing those with whom we differ?
Diving into this text seems appropriate at this point in calendarā¦
