A Reflection On The Last Couple Of Days In Orlando, Florida #prayfororlando #ripchristina #orlando
Much is still being learned about what happened in Orlando last night in the night club shooting. Until the facts are known then may cooler heads prevail. As a person who is both LGBTQ and Muslim friendly this concerns me about the greater fallout from this situation. There are extremists of every faith and you won’t find God on the fringes there. It’s in the middle where people build bridges, not walls in all faiths.
As a believer in Jesus I am called to love my neighbor as I love myself. In another note I am saddened for the family, friends and superfans of Christina Grimmie of The Voice who was murdered in Orlando on Friday night after performing a show at another nightclub. The land of hospitality and welcome featuring places like Universal and Disney and SeaWorld has had it rough the last few days. Grace, peace and comfort to them all in the coming days. Let justice prevail for all concerned.
Two Years Ago at Riverbend Festival
Exactly 2 years ago today! (via timehop.com)
I saw the classic rock group Boston play and it was one hell of a show. Hit after hit was played that night. It was a spiritual experience at a time when I needed it.
Humans of The Riverbend Festival #rbfestival
The human condition in all its wonder is found on display at a music festival like Riverbend. All types are represented bere. People of all sizes are dressed in interesting fashions. They are in varied states of consciousness and sobriety. People watching at its very best in a place like this. Diversity is the rule not the exception.
Chances are that you will run into someone you know from some part of your life. It is not a place for an introvert who isn’t good in a crowd. For some who thrive in this environment It’s all in the fun.
