Thank you!!!

Continuing to pray

Please share your dream vacation or event! Feel free to post more than one. I want to spend a week in the United Kingdom. I'd hit London, Manchester, and visit my friend in Scotland. Oxford, Harold's, Kensington Gardens, Buckingham Palace and a bus tour all sound wonderful. The highlight of...

Praying now

Will pray for you and your family. Starting now

Oh snap, you are not far. Im near High Point and Greensboro. I actually grew up living in Kure Beach. I love fishing there. Would walk there but yes, it was a bit sketchy at times. I'm not as familiar with the mountains. Im very afraid of ticks.

Father, you are lifted up and highly exalted. We dare not forget your power and glory in these last days. Forgive us our apathy, indifference, and even hatred of our neigbors. Forgive our lack of zeal for the things You care about. Forgive us when we make things all about us when it's really...

Lord, you are more mighty than these situations we bring before you. You are greater, You are higher, You have more power! Let your glory be revealed in each situation we bring to you. Let the testimony go forth, bringing praise and glory to Your name. Let your will be done. Pour out your...

I really love North Carolina. I love fishing at the beaches. I love people acting polite. I love the weather. I like to joke that people don't enjoy walking here and that the battle for the closest parking spot at the store is insane. But there are few downsides to living here. What do you...

I have an older Godly woman Im praying for as she does spiritual battle for her family. Her son, daughter-in-law and granddaughter have to live with her right now. They may be too familiar to always see the treasure in the jar of clay. I think familiarity blinds people to God's glory and the...

I see, so that's what my friend was referring to. Thanks!

I'm not sure what you mean by race in this post. China is a country. Chinese is a nationality. Yes, there are different ethnicities and cultures in China. African tribes are different from each other, I agree. But are the tribes different races? If so, how do you define race? I should be...

*Waits for the inevitable follow up post accusing the op of "works based righteousness" for dare implying Christians must put in effort.* It's like Christianity Board Bingo. The free space is the accusation "legalist".

No. Ethnicities have different cultures. But races? Just minor physical differences and thats it.

Believe it or not, I honestly couldn't care less. Races mixing does nothing to erase any of that. Right now, I'm carrying a baby who will not be fully one race or the other and I think it's a beautiful joyful gift. No amount of racial or cultural heritage preservation compares to her value...

Grapes and graham crackers

I used to be a bit dismissive of people saying "there's only one race---the human race". Like, oh that's a nice thought but then why are people so touchy about it? How come I'm never allowed to completely forget about modern race issues? But it's exactly true. I don't subscribe to the world's...

I was about to ask what that would look like if Christians rejected race. But I think it would likely look like the early Church: people of different ethnicities and classes taking care of each other's needs, sharing communion, and behaving like family. It was an incredible witness to the world.

Etymology of the Word Caucasian Apparently in 1795, a German anthropologist named Johann Friedrich Blumenbach came up with five races that included the term Caucasian.
