Be a Movement | The Resurgence
Organizations? Not Interested…
A few months ago this AP story was posted on Atlanta’s 11Alive news site:
Civil rights icon Andrew Young says he has little use for the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, the organization he once worked in alongside the Rev. Martin Luther King Jr.
Young says that then, the SCLC was a movement and Dr. King resisted the idea of selling memberships. Infighting and allegations of mismanagement are threatening to undermine the social justice group co-founded by King in 1957.
The group is headed to court on Wednesday. Young says the fight is over an organization—not a movement—and that he is not interested in organizations but would be glad to support a movement.
“If anybody is doing anything that is a movement, or the possibility of a movement, I would be glad to support it,” said Andrew Young, in another article. “But I’m not interested in organizations.”
Neither am I. Read more

Fortune Favors the Bold!
I found a shirt at Old Navy the other day that I had to pay full price for. Those who know me know I don’t frequent Old Navy and I rarely shop. The shirt had a version of the phrase, “Fortune Favors the Bold”. I’ve loved that one since I was in the Corps. The kind of counter-terrorism work we trained for was intense in a lot of ways. Our typical engagement was expected to occur at less than 15 yards and in less than 2 seconds. The motto of Marine Close Quarters Battle training was “Speed, Surprise, and Violence of Action”. That’s how I lived for a while even after I got out. I picked up the shirt because it reminded me of that time of intensity. It also reminds me of heroes like Chesty Puller. At the Chosin Reservoir on 1951 he and his men were surrounded and outnumbered nearly 30 to one. His response went something like this, “Great. Now we can shoot at those bastards from every direction.” Needless to say he was a man of boldness. It earned him 3 Navy Crosses and countless other decorations. He seriously could not fit all his decorations on one uniform! Fortune favors the bold! He sized up the situation, made a decision and took action. He fought with intensity and refused to give in. Though outnumbered he was victorious and overcame his enemies. Read more
