What if there were one online destination that aggregated corporate minutes, individual blog posts, organizational activities, etc? Does anyone know of this happening yet?

God be with you and all of those who are participating around the country. Occupy Indy (Indianapolis) will be occurring this Saturday & Sunday, and I will be there, even if only in spirit. Go in peace, my friend!KarenCoffeynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37106751.post-31577738767374622011-10-07T09:31:08.828-04:002011-10-07T09:31:08.828-04:00Thanks, everyone, for you encouragement!
Bill: Oc...Thanks, everyone, for you encouragement!<br /><br />Bill: Occupy DC is not in Freedom Plaza. That's another group, drawn from all over the country. Occupy DC is made up mostly of local DC-area residents, and we are occupying McPherson Square on K street. Come check it out sometime!<br /><br />I agree with you though that folks taking part in these occupations have different motivations for being there, not all of which I am personaly in unity with. It is difficult to know how to draw the line of personal involvement in such a heterogeneous movement.Micah Baleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06849915973708989620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37106751.post-31806180048442926022011-10-07T08:53:37.160-04:002011-10-07T08:53:37.160-04:00Thank you.

I think this movement is potentially very important.<br /><br />That said, yesterday I went through Freedom Plaza during my lunch hour (I work a couple of blocks away). I was disturbed by the spirit of what was being said from the stage and of some (a minority, but not just one) of the signs.<br /><br />This is always an issue in this kind of witness. It's almost inevitably a mixture of some with whom you feel in unity and some you feel are operating out of a spirit that is not in accord with our vision.Bill Samuelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00752443575410023776noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37106751.post-55500925439831664662011-10-07T00:08:44.250-04:002011-10-07T00:08:44.250-04:00Blessings on your ministry, Micah, in this time of...Blessings on your ministry, Micah, in this time of tumult.
