So, did anyone out there see Kanye West rip on the President on live TV? What do you think? Is it a racial issue that help has been slow? Was Kanye anywhere near reality? Before you answer, be sure to look at this link too:

If there are any interrnet novices who happen accross this, or if you just don't know what I'm talking about, please note that the title "Kanye West" is a link to an article on the subject. The other link in the original post leads to a comparrison of news stories on whites "finding food" and blacks who are "looting."

The one thing that I think about West is that he is honest. While his honesty could use better behavor I respect a lot of what he does in the industry that he is in.

True. I guess the real question I was trying to get at is the racial question. Some say it is more about poverty than race. Others say that poverty is an issue of race. Still others say that if the same thing happened in a white area, the response woul;d be different.

What say you to these things?

I'm not sure if it is a question of poverty or race as much as a question of sin. Isn't sin the real problem, the reason for poverty and divsions of race and gender and etc. Just a thought.

Ah Grasshopper, you very wise. Now what do we do with it? So easy to "Play the Blame Game," as Dubya likes to say. So poverty and racism are rooted in sin, yes. But what does that mean? How does that translate into practice?

Really I think the only way is slow, and hard. We need to be Jesus to others. And I know that has been said so many times that it has lost meaning. But it's true.

Co-mission-ing

"When they had finished breakfast, Jesus said to Simon Peter, “Simon son of John, do you love me more than these?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my lambs.” A second time he said to him, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” He said to him, “Yes, Lord; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Tend my sheep.” He said to him the third time, “Simon son of John, do you love me?” Peter felt hurt because he said to him the third time, “Do you love me?” And he said to him, “Lord, you know everything; you know that I love you.” Jesus said to him, “Feed my sheep." – John 21:15-17 [Sermon preached at FPC in Abbeville, Louisiana  on the occasion of the commissioning of Leigh Petersen–Rachal as their Pastor.] In preparing for this sermon I did what I have done in other times of need. I called Leigh. Truth be told, I was calling in response to her expression of care for my needs with my upcoming move, and it dawned on me that I was at

What Makes A House A Home?

2 Samuel 7:1-11, 16 • Luke 1:46b-55 If you are struggling with the idea of whether to say Merry Christmas or Happy Holidays, especially during Advent, I’ve got a new one for you. What about Merry Almost Christmas? That is the title and the chorus of a song written by a friend of mine. It’s a song about the blessing of the time before Christmas, the time that we in the church call Advent (which doesn’t quite have the same ring to it), and it’s a song about celebrations, reunions, and homecomings. Of course, the classic of that genre is “No Place Like Home for the Holidays.” Admittedly that one has been a little tender for me this year with my household divided as it is geographically. Having my family here today reminds me that home truly is where the heart is. It does make me wonder though, what makes a house a home? With a quick search of the question, I found a survey of homeowners in the UK from 2018 which showed that about a third of those that responded think of the place they
