Yesterday marked our first wedding anniversary. I highly recommend marriage.
My neighbors are blasting obnoxiously loud Banda at 11 am.
Bernardo stood up to his teacher yesterday when she made a comment that all Latino men are severely machista and only want to control their girlfriends and wives. He said he knew a couple where that was not the case and that is entire idea of family was in the process being redefined...The teacher has thought him to be a communist since she caught him reading Che Guevarra's biography.
I am contemplating a comment Dietrich Bonhoeffer made that the people who will be prepared to fight injustice when at the crossroads of a moral challenge are those who fully trust God as the ultimate righteous and just judge.
Who stands fast? Bonhoeffer asks. Only the man whose final standard is not his reason, his principles, his conscience, his freedom or his virtue, but who is ready to sacrifice all this when he is called to obedient and responsible action in faith and in exclusive allegiance to God--the responsible man who tries to make his whole life an answer to the question and call of God.
wow.

I am wondering where you found this quote. I've been looking for a copy of the full essay this appears in, and I have not yet found one. Is is published in one of Bonhoeffer's larger works or independently?
Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
(Email is foggytechtor@gmail.com if that is easier.)
