A failure to appreciate
What we have here in America, is a failure to appreciate every color of humanity. It’s amazing how categorizing people by skin (the bag that holds everything together) eventually makes everything fall apart. Your skin is amazing! Anybody who thinks … Continue reading
Beautiful people
There’s something beautifulIn every personI encounter.Sometimes it’s hiddenDeep down inside.My job isTo find it. Search for: Off the RACE Track–From Color-Blind to Color-Kind.
The race question many people are unwilling to ask . . .
To my white American friends who easily brush aside the concept of racism, try this: Find a black person and assure him/her that you don’t want to argue, but just want to listen and learn. Then ask: Will you tell … Continue reading
Making “race” an irrelevant matter
The lie that “black lives don’t matter equally,”Permeated America and its institutions,And was used to justify human trafficking,And/or forced separation and isolation,Supported by terror and threats of lynching,Until it was legally refutedBecause of the Civil Rights Movement.Unfortunately that lie still … Continue reading
Pondering what it means to ponder . . .
Efficiency without meaning accomplishes much meaninglessness. However, for those who like mysteries, life is an ongoing one. The more I ponder it, the more I marvel that I can think and perceive at all. To analyze is to attempt to … Continue reading

Arrogant opinions are like onions. They “reflavor” the truth and can make people cry. The fact that an opinion is popular, doesn’t make that opinion a fact. Opinions may align with truth, but frequently don’t. Unverified opinions could be called … Continue reading
As churches “reopen,” perhaps they need to “open up” to some things
I think that closed churches and open Bibles are more powerful than open churches and closed Bibles. I find daily Bible reading to be essential! Reopen the Bible! Many Bibles have been shut for years. Where are the protesters? Again … Continue reading
Self-e (as in ego) — my thoughts on the subject of “self”
Self-focused eyes have limited vision. Perhaps finding love, joy, peace, and hope is more important than “finding yourself.” Everybody needs something to think about and focus on, other than self. To think outside yourself, it helps to listen to someone … Continue reading
The internally empowering Jesus needs no middleman
When we cut out the middleman and let the living Jesus directly empower us from within, Christianity rises to new levels of glory. What people say and do, shows the world whether or not they are surrendered to the internally … Continue reading
