MLK Celebration: Turning Anger into Power and Love

1/16/2018

1 Comment

 
 It can be easy at times to feel disheartened in today's world. But at Sunday's MLK Celebration, community members took heart in great food, community and conversation. After enjoying a delicious potluck, members took part in a service that combined music with round table conversation. Members talked about feeling angry and often times hopeless in the face of today's politics and racial issues. But they also talked about how anger can turn into power and love. Several people talked about the importance of not demonizing others, in fact seeing us all as God's creation. Others talks about finding more profound ways to take care of each other within the notion that, "When all do better, we all do better." A couple people spoke on how the church has the potential to be a major force in the community. We have the potential to be brave, they said, to call things out that are not ok, and set the tone for how we can honor everyone's humanity.

I'm really grateful for this simple post. I'm in dire need of comfort, because I've been angry for most of the time lately. Ever since me and my girlfriend broke up, I've felt more hollow and sad. All my feelings have swelled up and turned into anger and depression. I'll try my best to follow more of God's teachings and redirect my emotions. Through this, I can be happier and turn my depression into power and love.
