What is a Bully?

Yesterday, my 16 year old daughter talked to me about how prevalent bullying is at her school.

What truly amazes me is how sophisticated bullying has become. It has left the playground, and has infiltrated, facebook, text messages, and twitter. Every detail of hate has been broadcast at the quickness of a finger pushing a send button. How do we even begin to deal with this....? What words can be spoken to heal the hurt....? How do we as United Methodist Women begin to change the paradigm of bullying....?

In the last century, women worked very hard to "get the VOTE". Once the right was given to them, they have made a profound influence on the voting agenda of this country and the world.

Having the right to vote and actually doing it are two different things! Tomorrow, this country will take part in mid term elections. They will be casting their vote and expressing their voice to which direction they believe the country should go. They will be expressing their voice on who should represent them. They will be expressing their opportunity to make a difference. Tomorrow I encourage you to VOTE, not just because it is your right....but because your voice makes a difference. Honor the past by being the present....VOTE
