Highlights: Social Justice for Single People

What is important to remember about the Ebola crisis.
Ebola is an Inequality Crisis by Jim Wallis
"The reason to do this is not because Ebola threatens our countries as well — as Dr. Kim says, we have the tools to contain the outbreak. Rather, we need to commit to reducing global inequality because Jesus commands us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and there are no national, cultural, or economic boundaries for our definition of “neighbor.""

What it is like to live in a country ravaged by Ebola. 
Ebola a constant threat in reporting from Liberia by Krista Larson
"I admit I was initially afraid to come to Liberia. ...Ebola's incubation period is up to 21 days. Every sore throat, every achy muscle can set off anxiety. And yet the world needs to know what is happening here: Ebola is obliterating entire neighborhoods, leaving orphaned children with no one to lean on but a tree."

What is inspirational.
This is What Brave Means by Momastary
"Sometimes brave means letting everyone else think you're a coward. Sometime brave is letting everyone else down but yourself."

What is impactful.
Social Justice for Single People by Christena Cleveland
"I’ve discovered that while social justice work is the most life-giving, freeing, Christ-centered work I’ve ever known, it’s also the most painful, isolating and marginalizing work. When it’s in your DNA to notice and feel the pain of the world, you encounter a lot of valleys, shadows, and death. The world is particularly unkind to the people who fight for kindness."

What is informative.
Paul and Women, in a Nutshell by NewLife
"Here is a list, in alphabetical order, of women who Paul mentions in his letters. Some of these women he mentions along with a male relative, others are mentioned independently of men."
