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.

Six Word Story
I hope your weekend was awesome!
To Doubt Is Human
Everyone has something they have doubts about. It’s human nature I believe. As a person of faith, I have them all the time and that doesn’t make me less of a believer.
My God is big enough to understand. There is a story of a man named Thomas in the Christian tradition who had doubts about the return of Jesus after his crucifixion. It’s those doubts that made Thomas’ faith stronger. Doubt does not mean one stops believing it can mean getting more information in hopes you can be a better person.
It’s OK to have doubts based upon experiences in life. It’s easy to doubt when you have been let down about something. Doubts can help us make wise decisions about things. My friend’s doubt is a good thing. It’s a tool that can help you be a better person.
A Commentary On Palestine and Israel
I love my Jewish friends and antisemitism is morally and ethically wrong. With that being said Israel’s response to the attack of Hamas on October 7th has far exceeded what happened to them. Every day people in Palestine are suffering and entire communities are reduced to rubble. This past week relief workers from World Central Kitchen were killed by Israeli weapons of mass destruction. I think Israel has become no better than those who have attacked them. My hope is for all aggressions to cease and the hostages held by Hamas be sent home. This bloody war needs to end. May God be with Palestine. May God forgive Israel for losing their way.
(Note: I will not engage in arguments on this issue. If you want to unfriend me I am fine with that. Thank you for connecting with me.
