Quotes by Cathe Swanson (?)

“But God put us in this place, at this time,鈥� Micah said. 鈥淚t鈥檚 our community, and we need to take care of them. They don鈥檛 have to justify their pain. We help those who鈥檝e been injured by others and extend grace to people who are in trouble as a result of their own foolish or bad behaviors. We do have to be wise, but we don鈥檛 disregard their need.”

“When I say it's you I like, I'm talking about that part of you that knows that life is far more than anything you can ever see or hear or touch. That deep part of you that allows you to stand for those things without which humankind cannot survive. Love that conquers hate, peace that rises triumphant over war, and justice that proves more powerful than greed.”
