There is an expression that exercises my mind, way too often. "There's more than one way to skin a cat." Why this expression comes to mind is a mystery because--well think about it. Skinning anything is abhorrent. Never mind a cat!
Anyway, why I thought of this expression, now, is because I went to order a book on Amazon and it told me that the book couldn't be sent to my Kindle--for some reason, or other. So, I took my Kindle and ordered it from my Kindle, itself! See, there's more than one way to skin a cat.
The book is How We Learn to Be Brave: Decisive Moments in Life and Faith by Bishop Mariann Budde. She was the minister who presided over the inaugural religious ceremony of President Trump. She was brave enough to preach to him, knowing that he thought the opposite of what she expounded. I thought she was acting exactly like Jesus preaching to the Pharisees. Not only did I buy her book, I signed up for her workshop--to be brave.
"The people who pick our crops and clean our office buildings, who labor in poultry farms and meatpacking plants, who wash the dishes after we eat in restaurants and work the night shifts in hospitals -- they may not be citizens or have the proper documentation, but the vast majority of immigrants are not criminals. They pay taxes and are good neighbors. They are faithful members of our churches and mosques, synagogues, gurdwaras, and temples."
