I talked about Fruit Stripe gum in my sermon a couple weeks ago so a church member dropped some off earlier today ๐คฃ๐๐ ๐๐
@kkdumez Thanks for writing John Wayne and Jesus. You've given me much to think about. ๐ค

Praying for all my fellow #pastors this morning. Lord Jesus, give us faith, fill us with the Spirit, give us steadfastness, give us mercy, help us be ministers of reconciliation, help us be peacemakers, give us wisdom, help us preach the Good News! We need You, Lord Jesus!
As I have watched the events in Minneapolis unfold the last few days I have wondered & prayed about how I should respond. Below are my thoughts. I hope you read the whole thing because the final thought is most important. Romans 12:21 ๐๐ฝ
