BCoF - 77 days to go...
Did you know that on this day, October 14, 1979, the first LGBT civil rights march took place in Washington D.C.? October 14th is known as World Standards Day and Be Bald and Be Free Day. This day marks the 287th day of 2023, and there's only 77 days left of the year.

Discuss either the LGBT civil rights or the World Standards Day or the fact there is only 77 days left in this year. Yikes, where did the time go?

It seems to me that if we really believed in these concepts, that it would go a long way toward healing of wounds and promoting (dare I say?) peace. While I get some of them, some are a little beyond my experience or scope of understanding. That doesn't make them wrong, just different.

Only 77 days left in the year. It seems we were just complaining about the heat, and now we are worrying about what kind of winter we are looking at. While I have concerns, I am not worried. I know my Redeemer lives, and I trust that His will shall be performed. Am I looking for a bed of roses? Not really. I am a pragmatist of sorts, and I know that the world is crying out for release. I just pray that lives will be protected and that people will look beyond themselves for answers.

Anyway, that is my two-cents' worth today.
