Whenever we are in a disaster no matter the source we feel vulnerable. This message created by The United Methodist Church reminds us that God is with us wherever we go.
I thank Joshua and the folks at United Methodist Communications for offering us this reminder today wherever we are!!! Amen!!
I am proud of The United Methodist Church for our long history of being involved in disaster recovery! I borrowed this post from the denomination. Our UMCOR is already mobilizing resources for assistance as the hurricane subsides.
Even though I can’t help personally my church will stand in for me offering valuable assistance,
Never let the opinions of others keep you from becoming the person God called you to be. Never let the opinions of others keep you from doing the ministry God called you to do
The dog pictured in this post is scheduled to join my household when his adoption is complete. I have prayed diligently over the decision to adopt because I will be making a life-time commitment to his creation of God.
During this discernment process, I have learned to lean more on faith and less on logic as I make this decision. So, I don’t have my new companion yet, and I am already learning from him. Isn’t life a treat?
The United Methodist Church posted this image on their Twitter feed today. I love the visual reminder it gives us that everyone no matter color, creed, or any other quality makes them deserve to be mistreated in any manner.
As I move forward through the week I will monitor myself to hopefully ensure that I am not practicing racism in how I interact with others!
All I can add is that this Superhero has said it best!!!
Charlottesville VA on a typical evening. People enjoying safety.
Charlottesville when hate comes to town.
Like many of you I have seen images on TV and heard a lot of news reports on the violence last Saturday in Charlottesville. The conversation that has been sparked is marked by:
Charlottesville is only 3 hours from my home. I could easily drive there for a day trip or a relaxing weekend. The first image would entice me to make the journey. Second image I posted would be a deterrent to wanting to visit the city.
I feel for Charlottesville because the events of the past week will share people’s opinions of the town for years to come. I feel for the residents who prefer tranquility over violence. And most importantly, I pray for them!
