Day of ...........

I've heard a lot of different discrpitions about today. Some people told me that it was pretty much "Gay Day". So, of course, I didn't support it. Being gay is not okay and I'm very strongly against it, although I do not harass gay people in any way. Someone else told me that the Day of Silence is about discrimnation in general (example: race, religion, etc.). In that case, I support it. Well.... kinda. What I mean is we all get picked on. Then again, some of us get picked on more than others. It's not cool to pick on people, and sometimes people can make me feel like dirt. But that's where we who do sometimes get picked on need to have that inner power that overrides all the crud we get. There's a song by Casting Crowns that goes like this:

Oh,what I would do to have
the kind of faith it takes
To climb out of this boat I'm in
Onto the crashing waves
To step out of my comfort zone
Into the realm of the unknown
Where Jesus is,
And he's holding out his hand

But the waves are calling out my name and they laugh at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giants they keep on telling me time and time again
"Boy, you'll never win, you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

Oh, what I would do to have the kind of strength it takes
To stand before a giant with just a sling and a stone
Surrounded by the sound of a thousand warriors shaking in their armor
Wishing they'd have had the strength to stand

But the giant's calling out my name and he laughs at me
Reminding me of all the times I've tried before and failed
The giant keeps on telling me time and time again
"Boy you'll never win, you'll never win."

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says "do not be afraid!"
And the voice of truth says "this is for my glory"
Out of all the voices calling out to me
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

But the stone was just the right size
To put the giant on the groundand the waves they don't seem so high
From on top of them looking downi will soar with the wings of eagles
When i stop and listen to the sound of Jesus
Singing over me

But the voice of truth tells me a different story
The voice of truth says do not be afraid
And the voice of truth says this is for my glory
Out of all the voices calling out to me (calling out to me)
I will choose to listen and believe (I will choose to listen and believe)
I will choose to listen and believe the voice of truth

I will listen and believeI will listen and believe the voice of truthI will listen and believe 'Cause Jesus you are the voice of truthAnd I will listen to you.. oh you are

And that's the only voice I listen to: The Voice of Truth. Hint: that's God! So I guess I don't really get the Day of Silence. I listen to GOD!

And who is the person or character you think fits the role of someone who stands up for the silenced?
