I really wish it was that simple. He makes some great points, but I find it hard to believe that racism could go away merely by not talking about it. I understand where he's coming from, though. Sometimes we make things worse by opening our mouths, when we should just shut up (see James ch.3).
Everyone is passionate about something. Who I am and who I am becoming as a man, a husband, a father, grandfather, retired pastor, leader and Christ-follower all work together to shape my passions.
If I think I've got some wisdom or insight to share, I'll share it. If I have a question to ask, I'll ask it. If something in the news strikes me I may comment on it. I won't shy away from controversy, but neither will I tolerate what we call in the south "ugly" behavior in readers' comments.
If you enjoy it, great! Glad to have you along. If you don't, that's OK, too. Thanks for stopping by.
The Replanted Church: Leading a Dying Church Back to Life
I'm a 60 something year old husband, dad, grandpa in an incredible family and retired shepherd to a most amazing community of believers. Plus God has me living on the Outer Banks of North Carolina. Life is good!

I have to say. Mr Freeman talks a lot of sense.
