Peace and Good News

Have found a Bible verse which I believe relates to people who have worked in the special police project....  It's Isaiah 52:7, "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of the messenger who announces peace, who brings good news...."  New Revised Standard Version.  [I checked in one version of a Catholic Bible--which wasn't their main Bible--and it was very similar.  I believe their regular Bible would be similar also.]  I'm not very knowledgeable about Bible history and facts outside of the Bible, but the Bible says there were [small] mountains around the city of Jerusalem.  The messengers used to travel on foot, I'm sure, and they had to pass over the mountains in coming and going....  This verse also refers to preaching the gospel, and the police project isn't about the full gospel, but as I said to others recently I believe the police project helps gays to be more open to the POSSIBILITY  of accepting the gospel....  And not that all of the police care about religious explanations or the gospel....

All the facts haven't been proven yet but there used to be a lot more discrimination and harassment against gays [and some issues with transsexuals...] in our society, and the police project has helped to reduce these problems greatly.  I believe this was "good news" and helped to bring more peace to the gays....  The police who were involved--not all police were, and some firefighter friends, and Hollywood friends, and some civilian and government supporters have helped!  They were "messengers of peace."  [And I include myself, also.]

For the record, there have been some parties who were not "messengers of peace" but they were provokers, and even roadblocks, at times....  Some had extenuating circumstances and some were a combination of these things.  But if there was a "provoker" who wanted to get someone else to say positive things, and they didn't contribute any positive input themselves, should they get the same credit as a "messenger?"  I believe everyone should get their dues--and I mean that in a positive way....  But we need to be realistic.  

Will write some more in a separate post.
