One of my favorite parts of the Good Book are the letters of St. James and six chapters that pretty much sum up all that it takes to be a good Christian.  Best of all, “It is not words but by your deeds that you will be known.”

Many people wear or display ribbons to bring attention to a certain cause they may be advocating.  I suppose bringing attention cannot be harmful unless that is all you do.

My latest bugaboo are hashtags. Children are being kidnapped, raped and murdered in Africa, and Hollywood sends hashtags.

I recently received a wonderful letter from a fellow rescuer in Florida who read A Voice in the Hills. I was touched by what she had to say and was especially moved by a quote sent to me by James Russell Lowell: “All the beautiful sentiments in the world weigh less than a single lovely action.”
