To all the Asian folks out there I hope you are doing your best to be safe and to stay strong and just live life on your terms. You are a vital part of the fabric of the country and the world. The hatred and violence you are experiencing is wrong on every level.
Hang in there and reach out if you need to. To my friends in the Asian community I am with you. You are good people. We need to stop this Asian hate.

Also we must continue to remember those in the Black community who continue to seek justice and equality. Black lives always matter too.
I am grateful to be in church on Sunday’s but I also know that the church has not always been kind to people of color and others on the fringes.
With that being said
I do believe there needs to be a wall between church and state. The nation’s founders (Washington, Jefferson, and Franklin et. al) were on to something from the start.
Inspiration comes from many sources and when you are paying attention that stuff sticks with you. Then there are times when it doesn’t and then you find yourself troubled because you know what was said was good stuff. Especially at church when you know the sermon will be good and you don’t remember what your priest said that afternoon. I need to slow down and let things marinate in my mind and let it stay around awhile. Remembering stuff is good. I need to do that more often.
