Shake it Up

[tracker7]

There are two synagogues within an easy walk of the house. I vote at the Jewish Community Center that's closer than either of the synagogues. No small number of Jews in this part of Louisville, and sometimes that means getting some strange drive-by evangelism. Wednesday afternoon, I came home to find a large Zip-Loc bag in front of my door, containing a couple of flyers, a booklet in Hebrew, and a New Testament - the latter titled as the "New Covenant." All of this courtesy of a group called Jews for Jesus, which I'd heard of in a peripheral way. Not really an organization with anything to offer me, since I'm atheist out of a generic rural Protestant upbringing.

Lousy day, weather-wise. Cold and rainy, generally miserable and a good day to stay inside. It turned out to be a good day for a demonstration, though. Several thousand participants in Louisville's March for our Lives. A lot of kids and young adults, angry and determined. Bring the change - there are now more of you able to vote than baby boomers.
