Hip-hop, you're close to 50. When can we grow up?

Keep compassion close to your chest at all times.

I have two boys on the autism spectrum. I don't always know what's best for them. However, I know there is grace for me in this area. I know there are parents in a similar space.

I grew up having great awareness of who I was in regards to racial identity and socio-economic status. This caused me great frustration until I was about 19 years old at Tuskegee University. My brother became a Christian along with my father and they shared the Gospel with me on occasion.

The Bible cares about the systems that create oppression. We see this in the Exodus all the way to Jesus' interactions with Zacchaeus and the prostitute in John 8.

I wanted it to live in all the diverse neighborhoods I've lived in.

I don't spend too much time attempting to defend myself against people who seem to have zero desire to have a substantive conversation.
