It’s the first Monday of July. Let’s see how the week and month ahead will go. I’m hoping for good things. However there is a mystery to every new month.
Opportunity, justice, and forgiveness are universal things. No one should deny others of those important things. I believe in a God who wants to give those things to people of all races, creeds, orientations, and backgrounds.
What the United States Supreme Court is doing lately is bullshit and is harming people who should enjoy the full measure of life, liberty, and happiness.

Friends it’s time to warmly welcome Friday and the weekend. Let me extend a hug to you all as we begin to celebrate a long weekend for many. Have a great day good people.
As a person of faith, in the tradition of Jesus, I don’t expect special treatment nor wish to see my faith imposed on others. That’s not what I do to anyone because it can be on the verge of bullying.
I believe that the practice of any faith can benefit the world. And if someone seeks the faith of another then that is the right way to do things.
Worship is essential and good when accommodations can be made for people to attend and also work to keep the world moving. I think places of worship need to be sensitive to their congregation’s work and to make opportunities to encounter the divine when their primary days of worship and prayer are not possible to attend.
To my fellow members of Team Jesus remember that his ministry was built on reaching out, healing, nurturing, teaching, and most importantly love. Don’t forget to love.
Men, it’s OK to be sensitive.
