Here are some shots/videos of our “Rejection of Toxic Injection” protest today at North Lima, Ohio. This injection well operated by Bobcat Energy has poisoned mother earth with over 70 million gallons of toxic fracking waste since 2015.
During our two-hour protest at least five truck loads of toxic fracking waste from Pennsylvania and Ohio entered the site, a corporate crime scene, and deposited their carcinogenic and toxic waste.
" our cross is all the ouches, the rejections, the pains that come to us when we set out to follow Jesus... a cross is forgiving past hurts and slights or praying when we feel no one is listening. a cross is speaking well of others, raising people up instead of putting them down... a cross is when you think your prayer well dries up. some crosses are huge, others are small... what kind of cross do you have?"

I sometimes want to scream really loud.
When life is throwing things my way that I do not want and do not accept in my life. I wonder is rejection possible? Does anyone know of a reject button for these times?

I have a fear of rejection
But you won't see it in my be-judgment
Arrogance is my biggest fault
But it's the thing I hate most of all
But maybe I'm just crazy and grew up too fast
This is heaven and hell all at once
This is all I got and all I want
But like a lost soul I will wander the globe till this feeling's gone
Cigarette by candlelight
This became my view of the night
Summertime was my biggest squeeze
So much to do and so many to please
But maybe I'm just crazy and grew up too fast

I hopped north a little for the drive home from Indiana with a detour along US 12 in Michigan. I drove past this sign, then figured I had to turn around.
One winter’s evening in 1821, stung by his girlfriend Eliza’s rejection, 17-year-old John Horwood picked up a stone and flung it at her. That thoughtless act of fury was to cost both these young people their lives. A prominent surgeon who clearly placed his own reputation above the care of his patients carried out an operation on Eliza which he must have known would probably kill her - as it did. Smith kept her skull for teaching purposes, and when John was sentenced to hang for her death he made sure the youth’s body would be his to dismember. He even had a book bound with John Horwood’s skin. When Mary Halliwell, a descendant of John Horwood, unearthed this grotesque and shocking story, she and her husband Dave went into action. 190 years after the fateful day when John’s young life was so unjustly snuffed out, they finally managed to arrange a Christian burial for his remains.

It is believed by some to be the site of the Rejection of Jesus described in the Gospel of Luke.: ..."Then He said, "Assuredly, I say to you, no prophet is accepted in his own country. But I tell you truly, many widows were in Israel in the days of Elijah, when the heaven was shut up three years and six months, and there was a great famine throughout all the land; but to none of them was Elijah sent except to Zarephath, in the region of Sidon, to a woman who was a widow. And many lepers were in Israel in the time of Elisha the prophet, and none of them was cleansed except Naaman the Syrian." So all those in the synagogue, when they heard these things, were filled with wrath, and rose up and thrust Him out of the city; and they led Him to the brow of the hill on which their city was built, that they might throw Him down over the cliff. Then passing through the midst of them, He went His way. (Luke 4:14-30)
