• something to think about

• My prayer is not for them alone. I pray also for those who will believe in me through their message, that all of them may be one, Father, just as you are in me and I am in you. May they also be in us so that the world may believe that you have sent me.
  - John 17:20-21

Beyond the Reconciliation Blues by Ed Gilbreath

He states, “There are rarely any clear cut answers… That is the reason why I wrote Reconciliation Blues, to tell my story and the story of others. I want to give Christians a starting place for engaging in a more honest conversation about race. We are so afraid. We don’t know where to begin. We don’t want to say the really tough stuff because we’re afraid we are going to alienate others or be labeled a ‘racist’ or whatever.’
