\"Sunrise<\/a>My favorite line from the Bible is: \u201cIn the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high shall break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and in the shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the way of peace.\u201d<\/p>\n

Darkness is not everything but it\u2019s real and it divides us \u2013 selfish cravings to get ahead, pain from violence and injustice, government lies and corporate lies, \u201cus\u201d against \u201cthem,\u201d my needs first, \u201can eye for an eye,\u201d \u2026 Who\u2019s to blame? It\u2019s the Americans, Arabs, Chinese, Israelis, the government, the media, the rich, the scientists, the conservatives, the liberals, \u2026 \u201cTHEY\u201d are the problem!<\/p>\n

But the coming dawn is very different. This light blames no one. It comes for the whole human family and guides us by the light of infinite \u201ctender compassion.\u201d In our darkness, we may see little else, but led by the light of compassion, we can feed the hungry and provide everyone with quality access to water, education, technology, and healthcare. We will see the lonely, the hurting, the sick, the imprisoned, \u2026 and to ALL we will reach out, give, receive, heal, and serve. Together, WE, Americans, Arabs, Chinese, Israelis, liberals, conservatives, \u2026, guided by our \u201cdawn from on high,\u201d will bring truth, justice, and peace to the Earth!<\/p>\n

God, our All in All, help us each today to see the many needs around us <\/em>
\nand to love each person that we see, deeply and truly, for each person\u2019s benefit!<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We\u2019ll gather around 11:00 AM and join hands at 12:00 noon to show our support for clean energy. For more information, please check out the video to the right where I was interviewed by some remarkably talented students from Alba Middle School.

The beach at Fort Gaines is located on the eastside of Dauphin Island on Bienville Boulevard. After crossing the bridge, turn left (East) at the water tower onto Bienville Boulevard. Then drive past Fort Gaines to the end of Bienville Boulevard where it curves to the right. Parking is available there. We will have a blue tent on the beach at the end of the parking area.
