thought for today

Lord, in the complex arena of human relations, help us to make choices on the side of love, not hate; on the side of inclusion, not exclusion; tolerance, not intolerance. And as we leave this mountain top, help us to hold on to the spirit of fellowship and the oneness of our family.

- Rev. Joseph Lowery,
from his inaugural benediction, Jan. 20, 2009.
