In case anyone was wondering...

    I believe that black lives matter. No "ifs" or "buts", but plenty of "ands" to add. Hispanic lives matter. Asian lives matter. Indigenous people's lives matter.  Jewish lives matter. Muslim lives matter. LGBTQ lives matter. The lives of women matter. The lives of the mentally ill matter. Autistic lives matter. The members of other religious minorities, their lives matter. Democrat's lives matter. Republican's lives matter. And when a person is a member of two or more demographics, like a queer black woman or a Muslim autistic boy, guess what? Their lives matter to God, too.

    White men's lives have mattered too much more than other lives for way too long.
