Should I Stay or Should I Go? Evaluating Safety
I know you feel it. So much fear. So much worry. We see it everywhere, we see it in our own family.
Many are considering whether to stay in their state, or even stay in the country. Or whether it is time to go.
We asked several people we respect in this community about the topic and their answers could not be more varied.
Beloved, what is the right thing to do for your own safety, for those you love, for the communities you care about?
