For quite some time I have wrestled with the idea of creating a blog. Honestly, creating the blog has been the least of my concerns; figuring out how to make the time required to maintain yet another space in this world has been the more difficult part.
Ultimately, this image pushed me over the top. So many nameless, faceless cries go unheard. Men, women, children -many who are found not only in the two-thirds world, but also in our communities- are crying out for PEACE, JUSTICE and LOVE. I don't know what to do or how to respond. So myspace in cyberspace will attempt to humbly listen a los gritos del margen/to the cries from the margin that resound in my silent reflection. The goal is to recognize and understand more clearly that the cries of our marginalized and oppressed brothers and sisters, both locally and abroad, are synonymous with my deepest longing for the Kingdom of God/Rule of God/Reign of God to break forth in my generation.
Along the way, this blog will also highlight areas in the world and in my relationships where God's PEACE, JUSTICE and LOVE are breaking forth - where his Kingdom is being made manifest.
This endeavor is not a solo mission...
For years Dad and I have discussed the significance of the generations, toledot, in the Old Testament. We have realized that the generations need each other desperately. To this end, Padre and Son will attempt to reflect on life together.
How this will happen is still to be determined, but we are off and running. Stay tuned and lend your voice to the discussion as the generations meet to consider los gritos del margen/the cries from the margin.
