… was to cross the road. This was back in Sri Lanka, on May 1st, 2005, and I was walking across Colombo to get to school in the afternoon. To my great dismay, a very angry, loud, and long formation of Communist protesters was blocking my path at an intersection. I don’t mean the lame universal healthcare variety; I mean hammer-and-sickle, xenophobic Communists with passion and red banners! Remembering seeing their march kick off earlier in the day, and recalling that it was substantial, I realized I would be standing there for a while waiting for it to pass; and I certainly wasn’t about to cut through waving fists and . So, I decided to walk against the protest about a block, join their collectivist ranks and change lanes from right to left while marching forward with them. I may have been the tallest, whitest, and least informed person in their ranks, but it worked! I exited out of the left lane and continued on my way.
Seeing the #OccupyWallStreet protests (whose cause I know little to nothing about) brought that fond memory back to my mind, and in the same spirit of whimsical bewilderment, I want to share and celebrate some playful works of protest:

Moments before freak lightning killed everyone pictured…
Life can be disappointing that way.
A message I’d be delusional not to agree with.
Thanks for this post..when I was in Washington DC ..or New York..I felt God”s grace everywhere…people must repent and pray…GOD is same yesterday, and today..His words never change. God likes friendship and team work rather than giving orders and arrogance..(He had a great friendship with Moses.)They were a team. He is the God who likes to be on the praises of throne to release his Many blessings!!! God wait to see how we treat him when we have little blessings. if we still be on his side that pleases him and then adding and filling the rest. That “s God”s nature . Abba father ..Bless all of your children again!!In the most holy & righteous name of our Lord Jesus Christ Amen!!!
