Whenever I suggest a new place or activity for my nine-year-old great grandson, the first thing out of his mouth is are they (the people) racist? When he was in second grade, he dressed as Malcom X and learned to take a knee. I’m choosing not to post a photo of this.
My hope is to get him out of public schools next year. He’s a talker and an arguer. He wants to dedicate his life to fighting racism. 🙄
I have made it a point to tell him that black people can be racist too and that most people are not racist. I have told him that God created one human race. Sin is responsible for the racism and hatred we see. Unfortunately, he has learned to blame everyone for his anything that goes wrong in his life. If he oversleeps, it’s my fault. I should have awakened him. It is critically important that we teach our children to take responsibility for their choices and not blame others for their failures. We need to teach their parents first. Sigh 😔
Do these passages stir your heart? Church-goers hear them every year as part of the #Advent readings.
“The angel went to her and said, ‘Greetings, you who are highly favored! The Lord is with you.’
Mary was greatly troubled at his words and wondered what kind of greeting this might be.
But the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary; you have found favor with God.
You will conceive and give birth to a son, and you are to call him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give him the throne of his father David, and he will reign over Jacob’s descendants forever; his kingdom will never end.”

Roger Stone nailed it: If you’re not glued to social media, you’ve probably missed the intense infighting tearing through conservative circles right now. That’s a good thing!
Let’s consider staying off the social media feed, and we won’t get dragged into the drama, or deceived by once respected voices who’ve joined the dark side.
Sometimes, we all need a digital detox.
Who else is seeking peace, unity, and real-life connections over endless online battles this Christmas/holiday season?
Let’s hear it!
