Melda sent me a link to Dr. Ben Carson's Reflections on the Death of George Floyd. It was written on June 9, 2020 by Tony Perkins, who is president of the Family Research Council. Dr. Carson's words gave me hope!

"Honestly, I don't want to sound like a preacher, but that's the real solution--- a change of heart of people. No one wanted another senseless tragedy, but we have a unique chance," he said, "to learn from it...This is a golden opportunity to do something about some of the relationships that have broken down in our society."

"The reality is, it's our country. We all have to take responsibility for what's happening here. America is a nation of the people, for the people, and by the people. But if that's going to work, then the people need to be involved."

There is something, he urges, that we can all do. "Maybe you feel hopeless in all of this pain and brokenness. All of us can help model a way forward. Ask yourself," Carson said, "what is my sphere of influence?"

"Start by being Christlike with those people -- your friends, co-workers, all the people you associate with. It builds out. It makes a huge difference in the way that they treat you and the ways they begin to treat other people."

"It's a big mistake to think that we can't change the world in our own homes. As far as I'm concerned that's the most important place to try... It's love that will impact society."
