"We're still at church. We're still going to worship no matter what," the Rev. Lee Maxey said.

You mean you're still going to worship WITHOUT Hillary?

Is this Rev. some kind of dope?

Just because the golden calf leaves the building doesn't mean the worshippers stop bowing and praying.

This may be entirely the wrong take on it, but I think she insulted the reverend. He gave her the courtesy of a podium (I have a problem with any politician in churches unless they attend as a regular worshipper) and she couldn't give him the time or courtesy of listening to what he had to say which was just as important to him, even if were something I (or she) might disagree with.

That speaks volumes. I think it might leave a bitter impression on him and some of the others the rest of their lives. Maybe I am wrong. But just maybe a few people got a wake up call at that church.

I once found myself in an all-black church just north of Chicago when my ignition froze up; I was in a bad part of town at night looking for the catholic church. I went inside looking for help, and the people were very welcoming, all dressed in their Sunday best like church was something special which it is. It warmed my heart to see that.

I humble myself, realizing I'm not too good to go to a black church. If I would sit and stay for the service, afterwards they would help and call a tow truck for me. So I sat there politely, the only white person in the church, regret that I can't remember the sermon, but their actions spoke louder than any words. I felt no fear whatsoever of those kind people.

Things could have gone very badly for me otherwise.

True to their word, after the service, they called a church member who owned a tow truck, and he towed my car to the dealership, then gave me a ride to where I was staying. I wasn't afraid, but it was unusual to say the least. When I invited him inside at my aunt's to wait while I could ask her to write a check for him (she was ill), the Polish lady who was helping me, her eyes went as wide as saucers.

I paid him, thanked him, and he left, can't remember why I didn't have enough money, only an out-of-state checkbook. It was a positive experience I will never forget. I don't remember the denomination, doesn't matter. I could find that church again if I wanted to, bless those people.

I reckon the good pastor, whether or not he still plans to vote for Hillary after this, operates on two principles:

1. There is a God.
2. Although Hillary may believe otherwise, she ain’t Him.
