Prayers for Iran




I just cannot stop thinking and praying for these people in Iran who so long for the freedom we take for granted. If every person who reads this can stop and pray and let their friends know and ask them to pray, maybe that will help. I want to repost John F. Kennedy's quote regarding hope:

It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope, and crossing each other from a million different centers of energy and daring, those ripples build a current that can sweep down the mightiest walls of oppression and resistance.
Robert F. Kennedy








"Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable." John F. Kennedy

People are coming together all over our country to show support for those in Iran. In Irvine, hundreds of people showed up to show their support:


If you Twitter, please use the #IranElection tag to learn more. Also, @BJMendelson is a fantastic resource for learning about how to help. He rocks!

"Everything I see about me is sowing the seeds of a revolution that is inevitable, though I shall not have the pleasure of seeing it. The lightning is so close at hand that it will strike at the first chance, and then there will be a pretty uproar. The young are fortunate, for they will see fine things."
Voltaire
