Genocide Watch has identified 10 stages of genocide. They do not necessarily go in order, but the more stages a place has gone through the more likely a genocide is going to occur or is occurring. Register for my class to learn more! Starts June 14.

"We are never as steeped in history as when we pretend not to be but if we stop pretending we may gain in understanding what we lose in false innocence. Naivete is often an excuse for those who exercise power. For those upon whom that power is exercised naivete is always a mistake." Michel Trouillot

Today is Nakba day. A day of remembering the ongoing catastrophe that was brought upon Palestine. Around this time Israel celebrates "Day of Independence" with an air show, fireworks and barbeque. The erasure of history is an ongoing effort by colonizing powers. The coverup is barely a veil now.

I led church this weekend and they celebrate Holy humor Sunday every year after Easter. Holy Spirit put it in my mind to do the message like stand-up! It was a blast and people seemed to enjoy it. I hope you do too.
To jump to the message go to minute 26.
