When I hear about Christians getting up in arms about Critical Race Theory, systemic injustice, white privilege and other perspectives that counter white supremacy in this country…
When I see these same brothers and sisters in Christ arguing and taking defensive postures against the above concepts and they don’t even really know what they are…
When I see Christians on social media perpetuating “hateful Christian” stereotypes…
When I read another story of an unarmed black person being shot by the police…
When I read another report of a young black man being killed by another young black man…
When I see good people allowing politics to control to their love meter…
When I remember that there are people in the midst of all the culture wars who are just truly hurting from loss, loneliness, rejection, illness, hunger, violence, food insecurity, and all other forms of suffering…
I look around at all these things and feel hopeless. Then I look at myself and feel powerless. Next, I look up, and remember how big God is. Finally, I ask Him to show my part of the mission and to help me to do it. No matter how insignificant it may seem.
Look around and be distressed, look within and be depressed, look to Jesus and be at rest.

Love you and love your heart! Thanks for never giving up.
Gal 6:9 And let us not grow weary of doing good, for in due season we will reap, if we do not give up.
