January 12 … Cultural Immersion

Today, choose to take a trip into a neighborhood where you become a “minority” &/or a “stranger”.  Though many believe such an action to be “dangerous”, if you go and attend a church there or choose to be a patron of a store (barbershops are great for this), you will be at no greater risk than if you were to stay in your own township… Remember when you go to your new community to do more than merely “dash in”.  Take your time while you are there.  Engage others in conversation; ask them what their lives are like in their neighborhood.  In doing so, you will inevitably rediscover the Truth that “people are people,” and that the vast majority of them are deeply Good-Hearted members of your own “Greater Family.”
