From North Carolina pastor John Pavlovitz:

In Hong Kong and Lebanon and Barcelona and elsewhere, people are reminding us that there is a cost to freedom, a price to be paid for fighting injustice, there is collateral damage to pushing back against tyranny. There is more required than a few keystrokes and a new status update. We need to get into the trenches and put skin in the game. We need to incarnate our convictions.

We’re eventually going to have to show up.
