Enough with everybody still talking about the racial divide between whites and blacks. The Spirit of God is saying it's time to start building the bridge. Creating a thread for anyone who wants to share something about how they're drawing closer to people on the other side of tracks. I have a dear brother - a black cashier that I see nearly every morning while at work - and such an encouragement to me. We encourage each other about everything, and so I decided to open up to him about something personal I was going through. I was afraid he might judge me on it, but as usual, not only did he understand but he said he was going to present it to his prayer group as an anonymous request. And things have definitely been better since, so apparently somebody out here knows how to reach God.
Seems I can always relate to my colored friends well, more than I realize. I had another friend - a boxer - and whenever we took time to stop and talk about things (especially women), we were on the same page, and it felt good having someone who fully understood me. I have sisters I talk to at night as well, and it's amazing how much we have in common and see things the same way.
So here's to building the bridge instead of concentrating on how it's all bad, and the divide is too wide. That's nonsense. The bridge is right there. All we have to do is cross it.
Blessings in Christ,

An old song I used to love. The bass player for this group was black, and one of my earliest musical influences. Tiran Porter was incredibly melodic and creative. Amazing how the races can get together and make great music together if they set aside their differences and just walk in harmony.
From a member of the band: “‘Taking It To The Streets’ is about the day-to-day situations we all find ourselves in. It’s about the fact that all of us are all in the same bowl of soup. We’re all much in the same situations so let’s get it together and do something constructive." - Jeff Baxter
