Shirley Chisholm.
You face discrimination? You or I quickly making us an exclusive “healthy” club – not with the ‘weak’? If so* say so, no hide. Or forever hold thy pieces :

& if so, its time to take a break from that * and please not (easy) to slip into an acquired nature. Some even do it while sweet talking about God: – what’ll He think ?! What’s the address of God please. Which club is He from? We do it in the name of our blood, or status. Or Wellness. Guh.
I get Chisolm’s quote, and then there’s the Biblical, “Take the lowest seat at the table…” Jesus meant that. I’ve seen how effective this one is anywhere. People as a rule dis- want pride. People might actually feel alright with those who do not tout entitlement. People dis- want beggars. We carefully watch for some who actually are needy but hardworking and do not ask favors…then we like them….they must merit our favors. Which opposes Biblical Grace.

Your Bible says, “Ask and you will receive.” I read that as asking God.
Last month a stranger came up to me and whispered I was doing alright as a mom esp. I laughed because that wasn’t my thought exactly. I’d spent the last half hour there feeling insufficient, incapable of handling much. (.. which proper grown adult is still scared of heights, ladders, tall chairs, escalators, roof tops, terrace edges, I’d be scared of heights if I were too tall!!!!)..
this total stranger broke boundaries I mustve made with my eyes or whatever. She comes over and takes my paw, blesses me with the widest girl grin I’ve seen lately. Yes I meant paw. Was feeling like a big bundling momma bear with a sore head about a few things. A sore head about discrimination, this for a challenged kid.
Our son doesn’t “look” challenged, but there’s the visual issues that stare out loud. And he’s got attitude too, which helps, trust me. The guy (Yona our son) is The Dude. Young maddening Cuteness overload. Thank God he doesn’t think any less of himself, it balances certain other lack. Not all have that, nor I. I could do with some of that thank you.
So I couldn’t handle watching another Ma with her little baby girl and the child had a pulled face, a neuro issue maybe. Its hard to say here but the

kid gets a load of words from another boy and then his momma says the worst to Lil girls’ mother. After which they all leave! I’m here with my world, and stand up to say a few things ..
only I’m not fast enough to get on that escalator to them. The girl and mother, and others leave before I can finish my sentence, I glare at the dumb escalator going on and on. Even a blind guy isn’t scared of the thing. What’s wrong with me and escalators? Its like I know I’m going to fall face first in it. Or It’ll chew my toes?!! That’s never happened, so why the worry? …
& I’m still a bear about those Discriminating Duds.

..and I begin to understand why we make these rules, because we’re scared about some privilege of ours being taken ? People groups are just basic scared of each other? I refuse to believe we are all totally shelfishes or that we will not, cannot share space equally. And I cannot comprehhhhhhend how anyone has any bias based on color, caste, all that utter rubbish, then say they’ re even remotely educated.
What’s wrong with us that we cannot tolerate someone not looking like everyone else? Who makes rules that every human should have two ears, one mouth, two arms, two feet? Who said we should all be rich with 1 & 1/3 cars each, and 146780431 houses in which to manicure different appendages of our selves?! Why are we belly -aching via caste, color, creed…and which world we belong to, as in first, second, third worlds?
Who cooked those rules, why? Please send everyone their names and addresses! Why bother about Eny Epstein Mepstein List??? Who’s nicer here? If there’s a sky movie of all the meannesses we meaned in our minds, what’d it be like.
Sigh. I sound like my mother and father put together. My Nj wouldnt get mad as I. He gets mad a bit much later, then ge prays for people. God loves that. I’m more a Jonah when I’m not looking.
Its just a blog’s world and the rules here are clear. The blood here is mixed. I just saw countries I didn’t know were reading me; on Site Stats. Saw that and blog tears fell, for joy. Here we are black, brown, yellow, white, medium, rare, serious cookies, or fresh cut. We likes this. The only Nation in- allowed here is Discrimination. Deeh.

Father God please bless the wonderful people everywhere who non -discriminate; they should be forever Fanned.
Please bless all the Countries I never guessed were reading here, .. Israel? I’ve wanted to visit You for a thousand years but no chance. Want to sit in the garden of Jesu and write something but sigh. He says, “Ask, and you will receive”. I pray on. Maybe we visit places in our dreams, hopes and prayers, ya. And U.S, Kenya, UK, Australia, China, Singapore, Canada, Philippines, ….all now. I absolutely love this. All the good people in the world factually outweigh the bad. God said so. He said, Good will overwhelm evil … He’s like that. Good. Look at this. My stats are humbler than yours, I know. But I’m grateful to bits.👇🏼

Have to go. Be blessed or be not, (who wouldn’t?) Happy February the 2026th since Jesus walked here. Praying for a visit to Israel soon to write @ Gethsemane this Lent. I praydreams& hopes. Why not, yes. Bye.

My dream home is right here.
