The scope and measure of Diversity and Equity and Inclusion, at root, is a deep insatiable desire for goodness.
Again, Anne, with those words by naming and properly valuing the underlying value of DEI, you opened the space for conversation, a space to talk about how that deep desire has only ever been satisfied by the living God in Christ our Lord. You offer a template for conversation rather than misunderstanding and battle. Thank you, Anne. Well done
I just have to say that I moved to Tennessee almost 12 years ago and one day I was having small talk with a native Tennessean in Aldis and when she found out I moved here after living in California my whole life (since I was 7) she told me "to go that hell back where I came from". That was the first and last time I shopped at Aldis.
I also got ripped off by a Christian contractor right after I moved here to the great Volunteer state. The irony is I thought I was moving to the holy land of the south. My first visit to Walmart I had some large white guy with a cowboy hat welcome me and then he proceeded to tell me all about the niggers who lived here. He was lucky I didn't slap his face being the racist pig he is.
The bad rap Californians get is ironic given the rich Christian heritage of the state. It's the corrupt fascist government of California that is causing people to leave there only to go to a spiritually weak and dead land like Tennesse. Tennessee boasts of so many things, but the weather sucks, the nicest people here are not native to the state and the churches are weak. I think that's why the Lord moved us here. To wake this place up.
Happy 4th from the idyllic Sierra-Nevada wine country, where I live close enough to Sacramento to be part of the wonderful St George Melkite parish there.
I'm always interested hearing you mention Mali since our daughter met our son-in-law while they were serving in the Peace Corp there.

Love the riveting stares, esp that one in the middle! And of course, a fine and encouraging piece, as always. Ty Anne!
Thank you.

So, so good.
