If you focus on crime, you’re going to end with police as the key actors; if you focus on safety and wellbeing, you're going to end up with communities as key actors.

Too many "unfortunate circumstances..." "For thus says the Lord; We have heard a voice of trembling, of fear and not of peace." Jer. 30.5

Learning not to wish tough days to end, but that the lessons will come quickly. Appreciate the place you are in because you may not be there long.

Again look at the question: ‘how do we get people to engage?’ With respect you don’t get ppl to engage. You listen to what they care about enough to act on, and then support them to work with others to do what they care deeply about. It’s not about getting ppl to do what we want.

Something deep about the strengths focused perspective in this message.

Be careful when you ask God to help you live out your faith... he might just take you up on it. "Love God... love your neighbor..." #entertainingangels #community

Just take care of people, because they are people.
