After Matthew 5:43-48
Once again, you turn culture
on its head. Love my enemies?
Pray for my persecutors? Seriously?
Maybe you don’t know who
These people really are. They’re
Evil. They want to throw me
in prison, and worse. They
stay awake at night plotting
my destruction. They devise
news ways to destroy children
and call it education. They
dress up evil intentions and
evil acts with somber,
pious murmurs of equality
and equity. Like corporate CEOs
and other Pharisees, they love
to signal their virtues, implying
how sinful and ignorant the rest
of us are.
Pray for them?
Love them?
Are you kidding me?

I know, I know . . . Jesus asks so very much of us, Glynn.
It's good to be back, but I miss Virginia even more now than ever. Hope you and yours are doing well.
