There is talk of Christian persecution. Meaning Christians are persecuted. As a Christian, I have never felt this. Not many of my friends have felt this either. However I have seen Christians persecuting others for this, that, or the other thing. If you want to see persecution check out African Americans, gypsies, indigenous people, LGTBQ, Muslims, and Jewish people who have been persecuted throughout time by “good” Christian people. I am a believer but I do feel like I need to call out the crap that I see by fellow members of the community. I am sorry to all persecuted by Christians who think they are doing “the work of The Lord”, you did nothing to deserve it.

The First Sunday Of Advent 2023
Today begins the season of Advent which is celebrated by many in the Christian world as the prelude to the season of Christmas. This is an Advent wreath with four Advent candles that are lit on the four Sundays before Christmas and the Christ candle which is lit on Christmas Eve. I pray for a good Advent season to all who celebrate and may this be a time of mindful waiting and reflection.

A Powerful Commentary on Coronavirus and Christians
I believe in God and science and when science tells me that wearing a mask is the right thing to do I will love my neighbors as myself and wear a mask.

Wisdom From Martin Luther
Christians are called upon to love their neighbors as themselves and to share the love of Christ with the world. Humility is something Jesus talked about and lived. In your work its better to do your best and show you have pride in what you do. It’s a reflection of the gifts you have been given from God. Making great shoes is a better statement of faith than to put crosses on the things you make or on your person. Martin Luther is very right that it’s better to work hard and do good than to offer lip service to a world that just doesn’t want to hear it.
