“Where is Your Getaway?”

Less Is More

I stare at the vast array of topics I could blog on, overwhelmed by too many choices.

Do I address the shootings of service members in Chattanooga, followed by the bullets that fly every time Donald Trump opens his mouth?

Should I tackle a controversy that's blown up my Facebook feed: same-sex marriage, the Confederate flag, or that Planned Parenthood video?

I think I need my bucket.

“When God’s Love Wins”

Remembering Charleston, SC

Sunday afternoon, July 5, I encountered the kingdom of God in a special way. It happened at a Unity Service in Greeneville, TN.

I’m a native Charlestonian. I lived the first half of my life in the Palmetto state. Like you, I was saddened by the murders on June 17 at Emmanuel AME Church.

Nine African Americans spent an hour showing kindness to a Caucasian man at Bible study. Then, this visitor pulled out a gun and killed them.

Why? They had dark skin.
