This song is a companion to my previous post. Why do men have to be angry?

I’m Not An Angry Old Guy
In case you didn’t know I’m a 46 year old white male. Some people who I share this demographic are angry about the world they live in. They are dealing with a lot of change and status in the world they haven’t adapted to. I get that but getting mad isn’t the answer.
I’ve chosen to live and love and adapt. The future has promise and challenge and possibility if you have the right attitude.
What makes me mad is the inequality, racism, sexism and hate that is so prevalent today. Why do we despite and detest those different from us. Are we so angry about what others have that we fail to see the opportunities in front of us. How long will be too long to realize we need to live and love with all our hearts and soul.
I’m a old guy who is embracing the future and being open to the changing world around us. It’s all good gang.
Wordless Wednesday – Power
Serious As Of Late
I am a blogger who chronicles the things going on in my own life and in the world around me. These are serious days and this blog reflects that. There is time for levity but this seems to not be one of them. Of course I will sprinkle in some comic relief but my heart is in a place of commenting on what is happening in current events. Thank you for tagging along at all times here.
To Kill A Mockingbird, A Reflection Of America
Watching “To Kill A Mockingbird” and its sinful how African Americans have been treated throughout the history of America. Fast forward to today and there is still a struggle. How long will it take for racism to die? It mirrors another issue we face today too with equality. If America is to be great then those two things will determine our moral fate.
One Year Ago, A Change Was Made
One year ago we worshipped at White Oak UMC for the last time. After 10 years at the church we were ready for a change. Last summer we did a search for a new church and ended up at St. Peter’s Episcopal Church where we have been warmly received and we have been presented with opportunities to grow our faith and serve the Lord at the same time. God gave us 10 years at White Oak and we are grateful for the people we met there and the experiences we had. Thanks to Steve, Amy and Lyle for being our pastors and shepherds. Now we are in a place and new global faith community that is helping us grow and to continue our faith journey. Thanks be to God. Blessed be.
