Trying my best to act justly, love mercy and walk humbly with my God... and encourage others to do the same.

@TerryWJohnston One of my most exciting baseball memories was being at the game in Dodgers Stadium in 1990 when he pitched a no-hitter. It was electric.

@EmilyMcgowin One of the few that I've read multiple times is Madeline L'Engle's Walking on Water. But in keeping with the season, I annually read How the Grinch Stole Christmas at least a dozen times to classes at my wife's primary school. 😉

Thanks @mtullos for this warning.
"stop politicizing every issue and realize that people are dying for truth... hoping for a deep level of compassion and empathy while we lean on our own moral platitudes and strike back with memes, links and parody videos"

I'm fascinated by this survey, but not surprised. Add up the estimates: Asian 24% + Black 40% + Hispanic 35% = 99%. So the US is only 1% White.
"Experts say the reason we tend to overestimate the size of minority groups has to do with fear of the unknown."

Amen and amen. Thanks, Pastor Alex.

Not everything has to be a battle.
Don't assume you fully understand [someone's] position straight away.
You don't have to win the argument.

We are better when we listen to and learn from one another, no matter where we may live.
