July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
  I had to look this up. Proclaimed for December 10 by the United Nations in 1948. https://www.un.org/en/observances/human-rights-day This quote by Eleanor Roosevelt is the beginning of the article on www.un.org.: “Where, after all, do universal human rights begin? In small places, close to home -- so close and so small that they cannot be seen on any maps of the world. [...] Unless these rights have meaning there, they have little meaning anywhere. Without concerted citizen action to uphold them close to home, we shall look in vain for progress in the larger world." The following Quote is from scripture and https://www.cartercenter.org/resources/pdfs/peace/human_rights/universal-declara... For you were called to freedom, brothers and sisters; only do not use your freedom as an opportunity for self-indulgence, but through love become slaves to one another. For the whole law is summed up in a single commandment, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself.”(Galatians 5:13-14 And from: Human Right vs Christianity on Twitter https://twitter.com/search/Human+Right+vs+Christianity Kamala Harris: Our newly elected Vice President of the United States of America “On Human Rights Day, @JoeBiden and I are committed to supporting and defending human rights at home and around the globe, building a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive no matter their race, ethnicity, religion, sexual orientation, disability, or gender identity.” From Apondia: December 10 only reminds us human rights are a daily chore, given by God, each day every day, by each person, every person, forever |
