Allocating time for living life fully with integrity. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Decisiveness. Acting promptly when your reasoning is sure. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Cleanliness. Modeling dignity in your ways and space. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Humility. Know you will always have much to learn and more opinions than answers. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Righteousness. Conducting your life such that you are trusted and respected. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Economic Stability. Safeguarding enough resources for yourself to live without debt. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Zeal. Living with gusto focused on purpose and care. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Silence. Listening and receiving.  \u003CBR\/\u003E• Calmness. Giving your needs and thoughts gently while being respectful and clear. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Truth. Speaking only what is fully confirmed in fact. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Separation. Focus on each strand in its own time, avoid multi-tasking. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Temperance. Eating and drinking, creating, serving, working, loving and worshipping in healthy measure.  \u003CBR\/\u003E• Deliberation. Pausing before acting, considering consequences, integrating heart and mind wisely. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Modest Ways. Eschewing crude, lewd and boastful mannerisms and practices. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Trust. Living in the spirit of knowing there is abundance in the universe, you were born for a reason, and you are in the Flow of All-being. \u003CBR\/\u003E• Generosity. Finding satisfaction in making much possible for others. \u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EIt's an excerpt from a sermon at Temple Israel in Memphis and I thought you might find it interesting.

As to where I am when it comes to the inward-focused\/outward-focused divide, I guess I personally have to come down as being inward-looking.  I don't want to be.  I want to be out there, using the constructive tension created by all of this pain and protest to try to capitalize on the attention people are willing to pay to these issues.  I know that all too soon most straight people will want to move on, to consider this issue over and done with for at least this decade.  I know that the reality of a friend in pain is sometimes the most powerful statement we can make.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EBut I don't know that I can.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EI'm tired.  I poured everything I had into this campaign, and talked to everybody I could as often as I could.  I've burned my community out on this issue - and most of them now either agree with me, or just won't discuss it.  I don't know how to overcome that, and think only time will do it.  Maybe that's just me making excuses so I can lick my wounds.  I am slowly, so slowly, getting back into learning about these issues - reading the new lawsuit briefs, researching first amendment questions, thinking about how the new political situation affects the future of the movement - but these are all matters of preparation, not current action.  I am not acting now, don't really know how, and don't know if I could.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EWhat I am doing is falling on my faith.  I am learning, really learning, what it means to believe that there is neither slave nor free in Christ... and applying that knowledge to make it possible to walk into a church knowing that I am a second-class citizen in this state.  I am struggling to have a servant's heart, to find blessings by blessing others, even when that means celebrating somebody else's marriage in a state that voted by more than 60% to ban mine.  I am contemplating what marriage really means, and whether the law really should matter as much to my heart as it does.  I am grieving - and trying to believe that my God comforts those who mourn.  We will move past this, and I think, in small points of light and acts of faith, we will do so in a way that glorifies God... and in the end, it will be His spirit shining through us when the world has rejected us as outcast, that will someday turn the tide and see justice done.  At least, that's my hope - today, it's all I've got."},"link":[{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/35479420\/478146754608036961\/comments\/default\/935942973659413875"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/35479420\/478146754608036961\/comments\/default\/935942973659413875"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/allpointsinbetween.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/finding-next-step.html?showComment=1226528760000#c935942973659413875","title":""}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Casey"},"uri":{"$t":"https:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/08015454981963595012"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"thr$in-reply-to":{"xmlns$thr":"http://purl.org/syndication/thread/1.0","href":"http:\/\/allpointsinbetween.blogspot.com\/2008\/11\/finding-next-step.html","ref":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35479420.post-478146754608036961","source":"http://www.blogger.com/feeds/35479420/posts/default/478146754608036961","type":"text/html"},"gd$extendedProperty":[{"name":"blogger.itemClass","value":"pid-1785823747"},{"name":"blogger.displayTime","value":"November 12, 2008 5:26 PM"}]},{"id":{"$t":"tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35479420.post-8578964583475631911"},"published":{"$t":"2008-11-12T16:15:00.000-05:00"},"updated":{"$t":"2008-11-12T16:15:00.000-05:00"},"title":{"type":"text","$t":"There are many \"groups\" of people who supported Pr..."},"content":{"type":"html","$t":"There are many \"groups\" of people who supported Proposition 8 (Republicans, McCain supporters, people contacted by McCain campaign, voters who decided within a month--but not a week--of the election, residents of inland CA, etc etc).\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EHowever, \"blacks\" and \"republicans\" are not monolithic.  \u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EBlacks also voted no on 8.\u003CBR\/\u003EBlacks are also in same-sex marriages.\u003CBR\/\u003EBlacks are also queer.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EOn another blog (I can't remember where now) I saw a comment by a black lesbian in CA who felt from the discussion of \"the blacks did this\" that she didn't even exist in the eyes of many gay people.\u003CBR\/\u003E\u003CBR\/\u003EYes, you are correct that many individuals who happen to be of African descent voted Yes on Prop 8.
