You Are What You Do is the title of an article by Tom Archdeacon in the Dayton Daily News Sports section. It is a quote from the Rev. J.D. Grigsby, a former University of Dayton basketball player in the 1970's to sum up his philosophy of life. Rev. Grigsby, believes that if you love the Lord, you will want to make a difference in the world. He put his philosophy into action.
Rev. Grigsby uses his skills and faith to help individuals and groups deal with the grief of catastrophic events such as Ground Zero workers, and recent killings of both white and black people in racially charged incidents. Grigsby, who is black, brings love and understanding to the concept that all lives matter as people.
His quote from the bible. 1 John 4:7, "Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God."
If we can begin to realize that we are all people, with imperfections but with incomprehensible possibilities, we can then begin to support and protect each other. We need each other. We need to promote the well-being of all countries and unite the world in peace for survival. God loves us all.
