The Church Is Like Noah's Ark. It

And I Think That's What Our World Is Desperately In Need Of - Lovers, People Who Are Building Deep, Genuine Relationships With Fellow Strugglers Along The Way, And Who Actually Know The Faces Of The People Behind The Issues They Are Concerned About.

If Those Of Us Who Believe In God Do Not Believe God's Grace Is Big Enough To Save The Whole World... Well, We Should At Least Pray That It Is.

We Are Faithful Not To The Triumphant Golden Eagle (ironically, Also An Imperial Symbol Of Power In Rome) But To The Slaughtered Lamb.

When We Really Began Executions Rather Than Lynchings, Black Folks Were 22% Of Our Population In 1950, For Instance, But They Were 75% Of The Executions. Now, African-americans Are 13% Of The Population, But They're Still Almost Half Of Death Row, And Over A Third Of The Executions. 34% Of The Executions Are Black Folks. So, Like, I Mean, Things Like The Race Of The Victim Is One Of The Biggest Determinants Of Who Gets Executed.

Too Often We Just Do What Makes Sense To Us And Ask God To Bless It.
