Warning and Hope

Words of Wisdom and Warning

July 1, 2025 :: Practical Matters

By definition, a lighthouse warns us and guides us with its powerful light.

Its beam shines on the dangers around us. And its beacon guides us safely through them.

The tenets of American democracy do that, too. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution warn us about the dangers of authoritarian power. And they outline the guidance, safety, freedom and hope our democracy offers us.

We are entitled to celebrate our democracy. But only if we are willing to preserve it and keep its light shining for all people who seek its freedom, justice and hope.
