In this series of posts, I’m sharing what I believe the stances of Jesus would be on certain political issues were he living among us today.
“Why is it this important?” you might be wondering.
It’s important because we live in one of the most “Christian” nations in the world, yet many of us cast our votes based on values that (in my opinion) are anything but Christian.
The sad thing is, many good hearted Americans who identify as “Christian” vote based solely on political rhetoric instead of simply reading the words of Jesus.
If one is not a Christian, this should be of no concern. If you are reading this, do not identify as a Christian, but are curious about Jesus, perhaps these posts will paint a clearer picture of him as he was (and is).
If you are reading this and you do identify as Christian, perhaps these posts will either reinforce or dismantle why you take the particular political stance(s) that you take on certain issues.
MIRRORING
It’s interesting when The Gospels mirror one another topically. It’s also interesting when they don’t. There are many well-known stories of Jesus that only appear in one or two Gospels.
To list just a few:
– The story of Jesus turning water in to wine during the wedding at Cana is only mentioned in the Gospel Of John.
– The Annunciation is only mentioned in Matthew and Luke.
– The healing of the blind man at Bethsaida is only found in Mark.
What’s my point? Assuming that The Gospels were written down from memory by the writers or transcribed by another as the stories were dictated, it’s safe to assume that when something repeats, it was impactful enough to “stick” in the writer’s memory.
If you are not an oral traditionalist, I concede that this reasoning will come off as deeply flawed to you.
This is, however a blog entry, not a chapter in a book, so we’ll leave Markan Priority and The Q Document for another time.
Anyway this idea of “mirroring” is what brings us to the topic of taxes and what Jesus had to say about them.
JESUS ON TAXES
The following story is recounted in Mark and the other Synoptics. (see also: Matthew 22:15-22 and Luke 20:20-26)
The Markan account says this,
Later the leaders sent some Pharisees and supporters of Herod to trap Jesus into saying something for which he could be arrested. “Teacher,” they said, “we know how honest you are. You are impartial and don’t play favorites. You teach the way of God truthfully. Now tell us–is it right to pay taxes to Caesar or not? Should we pay them, or shouldn’t we?”
Jesus saw through their hypocrisy and said, “Why are you trying to trap me? Show me a Roman coin, and I’ll tell you.” When they handed it to him, he asked, “Whose picture and title are stamped on it?”
“Caesar’s,” they replied.
“Well, then,” Jesus said, “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar, and give to God what belongs to God.”
His reply completely amazed them.
-Mark 12:13-17
THREE TIMES
So here’s what’s interesting — whether there was copying from one Gospel to another, or this instance in the life of Jesus was remembered by three different individuals and recorded from memory, something was important enough about it to be included by three different people, three different times.
And in each of these accounts, Jesus explicitly says that he approves of the paying of one’s taxes.
TAX COLLECTORS
Tax collectors in ancient Israel worked for the Roman Empire. Many tax collectors were Jews who bought tax collection franchises from the Roman government, and any amount that they collected over and above what Rome required, they could keep for themselves.
So if you owed the Roman government $100, the tax collector might tell you that you owed $200. And so he would send the $100 you really owed on to the Roman government, and keep the extra $100 for himself.
In this way many of the Jewish tax collectors became wealthy at the expense of their own people.
In Luke’s Gospel, when some tax collectors came to John The Baptist to be baptized, they asked him what they should do to show their repentance, and he answered,
“Collect only the amount of taxes that the government requires.” (Luke 3:13)
This, coupled with the words of Jesus above, shows us that Jesus is not just making a blanket statement when he says “give to Caesar what belongs to Caesar” and allow oneself to be extorted. But he is saying to pay what is required.
SOME OTHER VOICES
In 1866, a Presbyterian Pastor named Joseph Alden wrote a book titled Christian Ethics, or the Science of Duty in which he says the following:
“A man’s taxes are what he pays for the protection of his life and property, and for the conditions of public prosperity in which he shares. He ought to pay his just portion of the expense of government.”
A Republican named Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr. said something similar:
“Taxes are the price we pay for a civilized society.”
IN CLOSING
So what would Jesus’ stance be on taxes were he alive today?
Based on the Gospel accounts and other references above, he’d be for taxes. At what percentage, you ask? Well, that’s hard to glean from the text, but being Jesus, with his chief motivation being to love God and to love others, (Matthew 22:36-40) would support a percentage that provided for the well-being of all people.
To say that Jesus would be “anti-tax” is just not true, according to his own words.
If a Christian is, by definition “one who follows the teachings of Jesus Christ,” and the life of Jesus supported taxation, then maybe an anti-tax stance is not Christian.
Could we be robbing to poor by supporting such a position?
Could we be withholding help from those who are truly unable to help themselves?
Could we be making our country a place that only “works” for ourselves as individuals and completely overlooking the inherent needs and rights of our fellow man?
Is that civilized?
These are some questions worth asking.

Once upon a time, a baby elephant was born, and their parents were so happy. But they noticed that their baby wasn’t like all the other baby elephants. It wasn’t black or gray. It was PINK. They didn’t understand why this had happened, but they took it home and loved it.
As the baby elephant was growing up, he noticed that he was different from all the other elephants. He realized that he needed to change his appearance to fit in, to be able to be accepted by the others. He had an idea! He decided to put dirt on his back, so he could look like everyone else. Now, presenting himself as gray, he was playing and having a great time, until one day a thunderstorm came. Slowly, all the dirt, from his back, ran down. Everybody started pointing and noticing that he was PINK. The elephants were shocked and started laughing uncontrollably. Our pink elephant felt so bad, because of all of the criticism and ridicule, that he was ashamed to be who he really was.
It was then that he realized that the others would never understand him, and that he would have to find his own group, to SURVIVE and THRIVE.
That’s what you are. You’re different! You’re not like everybody else, but you might feel like “What’s wrong with me? Why can’t I be like everyone else?” Well, you’re different – you were born PINK! You need to be proud of being different. Until you are proud of who you are, nothing great is going to happen in your life.
As you grew up, you might have felt odd, disconnected and undeserving of having a great life. That is NOT TRUE!
It’s important for you to know, that the ELEPHANT is the most powerful animal on the planet, and PINK is the color of love. You have to own the fact that YOU are the most powerful human being on the planet, and you’re full of LOVE. Even though people may not understand you, that doesn’t matter. All the great people in the world, from Michelangelo to Leonardo DaVinci – to Albert Einstein and Steve Jobs. Guess what they were? They were different. THEY WERE PINK!!
In your town, there are pink elephants just like you. It’s time to stop hiding. You were created perfectly because God doesn’t make a mistake. It’s time to let your true color shine through. It’s time to be proud to be PINK!

I am a businesswoman living in Abu Dhabi–a vibrant city located in the United Arab Emirates in the heart of the Middle East. A few years ago at an International Woman’s Day celebration, I had the privilege of hearing a 24-year-old Afghan woman named Shabana Basij-Rasikh speak.
Shabana shared her story about what life was like living under the Taliban rule as a young girl. She explained how girls were not allowed to go to school, but her family knew education was important and went to great lengths and risked danger to make sure she received an education.
She also spoke of her love for her country, and her desire to change it for the better. Shabana went to university in the United States and returned to Afghanistan to start an all-girls boarding school. She explained that she believed the best way she could effect change for the women in Afghanistan was to provide a safe place for young girls to receive an education. The school is called School of Leadership Afghanistan (SOLA).
I remember sitting in the audience that day being in complete awe of this young woman who was 18 years younger than me. I felt humbled and inadequate at the same time. I thought to myself that this young woman was really working to change the world for the better and had accomplished so much at such a young age.
I heard her amazing story and was inspired to do something to help. One of my passions is working for women empowerment in this region. What better way to do this than to help to girls achieve an education, so they can be agents of change in their country and create inspiring stories of their own!
So, I became an e-mentor for SOLA. This means that one hour a week, I meet with a student over a videoconference link to tutor her in English and other subjects.
Sadly, last December the school had to shut down due to security concerns. The school asked the e-mentors to step up their tutoring to help keep the girls engaged and encourage them to continue their studies. This was challenging, as the network connectivity at some of the girls’ homes was unreliable. For several weeks, my mentee was unreachable because of power outages caused by the destruction of a power sub-station. I am happy to report that the school has been able to relocate to a new building and has reopened.
I am now mentoring a new girl who is extremely bright and optimistic. She plans to study hard and return to her village to become a doctor, because there is currently no medical clinic in her hometown. Every week when I meet with her, I have a growing hope for humanity and the world where we live. I leave our sessions feeling inspired and motivated to work hard at everything I do. Here I thought I was doing something to help the school, but it turns out the experience actually gives me a weekly shot of inspiration and hope.
I am reminded what a privilege it is to live in a beautiful, safe city, and how fortunate I am to have joined a multinational company that embraces a culture of giving back as one of its core values. One of the reasons I decided to work at Accenture is its focus on and commitment to promoting diversity and encouraging women to succeed.

Recently the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved a new weight loss method. It’s drastic; some may consider it a step too far due to its functionality, which involves draining newly consumed food through a stomach pipe into the toilet.
A New Weight Loss Method
The newly approved device drains food from the stomach before the body gets a chance to process it.
AspireAssist consists of a medically implanted stomach tube with a connection port on the skin. A device removes food twenty minutes after it’s been consumed.
Source: NBC News
The system, which was developed by Aspire Bariatrics of King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, removes roughly 30% of food volume before your body has processed the calories. It’s approved for those over 22 with a Body Mass Index (BMI) of 35-55 who have tried and failed to lose weight by other means. Studies show it reduces weight by 12% after a year of use.
The deputy director of the FDA Dr William Masisel said ‘Patients need to be regularly monitored by their health care provider and should follow a lifestyle program to help them develop healthier eating habits and reduce their calorie intake.’ A comment that indicates tools like the AspireAssist should be used alongside lifestyle changes, not as a way to continue eating unhealthily. People with eating disorders are not suited to the device either, with many critics slamming it as ‘assisted bulimia’.
As with most medical interventions there are side effects. These include nausea, constipation, diarrhea and vomiting. Although undesirable supporters say these side effects are more acceptable than the side effects of obesity.
Why Is These Weight Loss Treatment Needed?
Source: World Obesity Federation
Obesity is not just a problem in the States but worldwide. Rates are rapidly rising with 38% of American adults and 17% of teenagers classed as obese, and now the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention state that the obesity rate of American women has peaked at 40% – the highest ever recorded.
Obesity is a problem not only because of the physical limitations it imposes, but also because of the health implications. Being overweight or obese leads to diabetes, heart disease, arthritis, stroke, high blood pressure, cancer and Alzheimer’s.
When a BMI hits 30 or above you’re considered obese. The Trust for Americas Health Jeff Levi says ‘we have maps from 1991 and you see almost all the states below 10 percent… by 2011 every single state was above 20 percent obesity’.
Source: University of Utah Health Care
It’s thought by 2030 42% of Americans will be obese. It’s a huge problem not only for individual health, but also for the nation’s finances, which already struggling to cope with the health costs of obesity-related illness. Estimates suggest $150 billion a year is spent on the problem obesity causes.
Other FDA approved methods of Weight Loss
AspireAssist is for those who are truly overweight and at risk of death without urgent help. It’s not a new concept though. There are other FDA approved methods too, because our battle with obesity has been growing over the preceding decades. Other methods are based around drugs and surgery.
Surgery
Gastric bypass surgery. This procedure involves stapling the stomach so it’s reduced in size and connecting it directly to the small intestine so less food is absorbed.
Gastric band surgery. This involves a small bag of saline, which is wrapped around the stomach to reduce its size. The stomach becomes a pouch that will only hold around an ounce of food at one time.
Drugs
Weight loss drugs have been regarded as some as magic beans, which promises the earth, but delivers little in the way of result. However, recent reports have found that some do actually support weight loss.
Using data from 30,000 overweight and obese adults they found drugs containing orlistat, lorcaserin, naltrexone-bupropion, phentermine-topiramate and liraglutide were linked to a 5% reduction in weight loss over a year.
These are sold under the brand names Xenical, (the only available UK option), Alli, Belviqm Contrave, Qsymia, Saxenda and Victose.
Weight loss drugs work by blocking the lipase enzymes that break down fats for absorption. Active ingredients attach themselves to fat cells like parasites, and fat is flushed out with waste products in the usual way.

Are Drastic Weight Loss Measures Safe?
FDA approved weight loss methods such as weight loss pills are regarded as safe when they are taken on prescription, according to the instructions. Surgery will be carried out at the request of a doctor after all other methods have failed.
Drastic weight loss methods are not the first line of defence against obesity; they are a last resort for the morbidly obese. A calorie restricted diet and exercise program is the healthiest way to lose weight.
Moving regularly and eating a healthy balanced diet is essential if you want to avoid obesity. However, if you’re dangerously obese and you’ve tried all other methods then the FDA approved weight loss methods offer a glimmer of hope – but they come at a price.

Can we always be at our best? Is it possible? The reality is that while we strive to do our best and put our best foot forward, sometimes we will still feel that we have fallen short. As imperfect people, we need to remember that it’s not perfection that we should be seeking, but it is rather to deliver to others in such a way that we remain true to ourselves and true to the direction we intend to go. Instead of constantly fighting against the current and striving for perfection, to remain as close as possible to what we know we’re best at. The place where we know, “I’ve got this.” A favorite quote by Henry David Thoreau reminds me of this every day. “Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows.”
Even after years as a speaker and over thirty years as a professional portrait photographer, I still have those moments of nervousness before an engagement or photo shoot. Mind you, it’s not a paralyzing nervousness; it’s a nervousness that is rooted in caring. Caring about being at one’s best and doing a good job can create a nervousness. Heck, that type of caring can even make one have momentary lapses in confidence. However, it’s that type of commitment to being the best — being the best that you- we- I -can be, that makes us great at what we do. By letting go of the need to be perfect and instead, “dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows,” you empower yourself. Focus on that. It is always when I drift from there — that channel — caring about being perfect, impressing others, and even how I look, that I pop out of the channel and nervousness takes over.
Case in point. I spent days agonizing, developing, and preparing a speech that I was to give before a group of colleagues. In fact, I was speaking on a subject matter on which all or nearly most of them were quite well-versed. I was engaged to simply give my perspective. Instead of just preparing as I would normally — after all, I knew my material backward and forwards, I fixated on impressing my peers. I had to look good. I had to be articulate. Funny. Entertaining. Captivating. Memorable. Geez, could I have put more pressure on myself? In the end, I was a bit disappointed in my delivery. No, the audience wasn’t disappointed. In fact, given the thunderous applause and subsequent laudatory emails I received, no one could tell that I had drifted a bit off of my ordinary course. What struck me after is that by over thinking and directing my attention to places it didn’t need to be, I felt less grounded. Less sure. The upside though was the takeaway from that experience. The realization that if I had just allowed myself to stay focused and as close to what ordinarily makes me good at what I do — being me- everything would have flowed naturally. Lesson learned, Mr. Thoreau. Dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows.
The approach to everything in business and in life needs to come from a place of centeredness — a dwelling of what we know is true about ourselves — and then it all will flow naturally. This is what it means to do authentic work. Centeredness and authenticity make everything possible, or “as possible” as it can be. After all, no one can get it right all the time. Thoreau obviously uses “as possible” purposely. It’s not about pleasing everyone. It’s about staying on course as close as possible to where we feel our live flows — that which motivates us and gives us purpose — and then using that compass of power and creativity fully.
In those moments of being off course — when we’re consumed with nervousness, doubt, a lack of self-confidence, and/or the mere feeling of falling short in some way, shape, or form — remind yourself that those are the times where you are likely to learn the most. Recognize that those outside circumstances that you’ve allowed to get into your head can provide you with the opportunity to regain your footing. To redirect you and set you back on course to “dwell as near as possible to the channel in which your life flows. That is where your best resides. When you’ve done your best to stay there, you’ve done the best you can. Perfection is no longer the goal or direction.
So what keeps you as near to your channel — your purposeful motivation, your life force — as close as possible to where your creativity and purpose flow? What makes you nervous? What practices keep you grounded and allow you to stay on track? We may not always be at our best, but we can always do our best to stay true to our path and dwell as near as possible to the channel in which [our] life flows.
Thanks, Mr. Thoreau, for reminding me to dwell where I plant my stake and take my compass — my truth — and go in the direction my life flows.

House Republicans are trying to block their Democratic colleagues from mentioning the gun violence sit-in on social media, arguing that the words “sit in” or photos with signs calling for an end to gun violence violate rules on official business.
The office of Rep. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) ran into problems Thursday when it asked the Franking Commission — the bipartisan body that signs off on communications between lawmakers and constituents — to approve an ad directing people to its Facebook page:
The ad does not contain any mention of the sit-in, but Chu’s Facebook page does allude to it, and the ad would direct people to that page. Chu’s office said Republicans on the Franking Commission objected to the fact that in a photo on her page, there are people behind her with signs reading, “Stop Gun Violence.”
Chu’s office was told it can’t use the words or phrases:
The Franking Commission did not return a request for comment.
Franking Commission rules prohibit members from using official resources to promote rallies or do grassroots organizing. The core issue is whether the sit-in was part of official legislative business or something more akin to political organizing.
There was, of course, plenty of discussion about Democrats’ 25-hour sit-in last week, when members called for votes on gun violence prevention measures. But now that offices are submitting requests for ads or other official communications, the Franking Commission is stepping in and formulating guidelines on whether it meets its requirements.
In other words, under these rules, offices wouldn’t be able to put up a video of the sit-in or a post with a photo of the event on their official Facebook page or Twitter account, because they would constitute grassroots organizing; they’d have to use their campaign accounts. There’s a good chance that they wouldn’t get in trouble — the Franking Commission doesn’t have the resources to police every single tweet and Facebook page — but technically, it would be banned.
Although the sit-in happened on the House floor, it happened when the chamber was not in session. C-SPAN cameras don’t show the House floor when it’s not in session, so members had to use tools like Facebook and Periscope to show the proceedings.
Because the commission is bipartisan, if a member raises an objection, it needs to be worked out by both sides. A Democratic staff member on the Franking Commission said they are currently trying to come to a solution.

STOP. Just, stop! Slow-the-heck-down. Life has you in a total spin. Please, take a minute to decompress.
Sit.
Exhale.
And, while you’re here, I need to talk to you…
This spin that you’re in, the one filled with hectic schedules and rushed meals, laundry piles and workloads; you need to Slow. It. Down. I know it’s almost impossible, and maybe right now it really isn’t realistic but every once-in-while, and on a regular basis ideally, please make time to do something that you really want to do; something just for you.
Take time to re-group, and to remember who you are; not the wife, the mother, the employee, or the daughter. You! And, if you feel like this knowing yourself business is a hazy concept from the distant past, then no time is better than NOW, to get back on track.
Sometimes, when we are too busy (caught up in the whirlwind) we start to unravel without even noticing. Yes, while filling our many roles, we can forget to keep an eye on our own well-being. And, in reality, when the whirlwind slows and we land somewhere on the other side we’ll be face to face with a new stage; a stage that brings quiet moments of time where it’s just you, and you alone. How will you feel when you are face to face with your own reflection, in those moments? Will you know who you are? Will you like who you see? Take care of yourself.
Stop.
Sit.
Exhale.
Read that book you’ve been hearing about, play your favourite music in the kitchen, take walks. Be a pen pal, do Pilates, start a blog. Take up photography, meet an old friend for brunch, sign-up for a wine-tasting class. Play hockey, study Italian, learn to knit. Try something that feels daring to you, say “no” more often, but say “yes” to new adventures. Buy a lavender plant for your garden and smell it every day.
You are important, essential really.
Stop.
Sit.
Exhale.
Take the time to find out what makes you smile, when nobody else is around. The “Post- Whirlwind You,” will be glad you did.

What are the biggest problems with public education today? originally appeared on Quora – the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Answer by Sarah Lubienski, Mathematics Education Professor, University of Illinois, on Quora.
Inequity.
If we look at NAEP scores since 1990, there has been a marked increase in scores (see Washington Post blog on this). However, persistent disparities based on race and socioeconomic status have remained.
Some might feel that such disparities will simply always be with us and schools cannot change that. But the fact that Black fourth graders’ 2007 NAEP math scores were higher than those of White fourth graders’ scores in 1990 means that Black students certainly can learn as much as White students (or more) if given the opportunity. Additionally, some past analyses have revealed that our top states and districts score as high as the top countries in the world — we are certainly capable of offering a rich, cutting-edge education to students in the U.S.
However, the U.S. education system has deep inequities in terms of human and financial resources. I teach many international graduate students, and they are often struck by how odd it is that we in the U.S. voice strong concern about equity, but our education system is entrenched in inequality. Most notably, our school funding tends to rely on property taxes, resulting in the rich having better funded schools that can afford smaller class sizes, the most up-to-date curricula and can attract and retain the most marketable teachers. One graduate student from Turkey once asked why we don’t assign teachers to schools to ensure that the least advantaged students have the best teachers. While that might seem like a radical solution to us, there are ways we could do more to break the pattern of high teacher turnover and disproportionate numbers of inexperienced teachers in our poorest schools (e.g., incentive programs for effective teachers that remain in high-needs schools).
We actually need to go beyond equal resources for schools, because our highest-need students require more resources than their counterparts who have every educational advantage. Hence, to achieve equity, we need to be prepared to invest more in our schools and students that have the greatest needs.

How are gender roles in parenting evolving in the 21st century, and what still needs to happen? originally appeared on Quora – the knowledge sharing network where compelling questions are answered by people with unique insights.
Answer by Josh Levs, Former CNN & NPR Journo, dad, author & speaker pushing gender equality, on Quora.
There’s been a revolution. I speak to this in the opening paragraph of All In. You can see it here. Dads today are involved from the very beginning, like never before. Dads want to share parenting responsibilities. The overwhelming majority of dads value family way over money. (This does not mean we’re any less good employees than men of the past. It means we’re great multi-taskers!)
But our laws, policies, and stigmas haven’t kept up with reality. They’re designed as gender police, pushing women to stay home and pushing men to stay at work. One of many examples is the “hours stigma.” It’s proven: Men get raised up the ranks for sitting at their desks more often — not for getting more work done! Because top business leaders fall into the extremely tiny minority of men who believe men should value work over money.
To get past this, we need to establish real, functional gender equality in the workplace. I travel to businesses and do events and workshops. The results are incredible. For the first time, men open up about their struggles — and they surprise their female colleagues. To fix the dichotomy between egalitarian family life and outdated gender norms at work, we need to be able to speak about it. And we need a big reality check about how dads fit in!
