Hi Folks. These are a few thoughts from the road. Mary and I are driving from our home in Florida up to visit her family in West Virginia and my family in Maryland. On Saturday, Pumphrey, the community I grew up in, is having an event honoring my 88-year-old preacher dad. Dad was a pillar of our black community. In the 60's, we Pumphrey elementary school students were bussed to the recently integrated Brooklyn Park Jr/Sr High School. Saturday night, I have been asked to sing at my Brooklyn Park High School reunion. I will not tell you which year reunion because it sounds really old, even to me.
Our car radio lost Rush and other talk radio favorites as we drove through states. In South Carolina, I stumbled across a southern gospel station that made me smile. I'm Stickin' With Jesus All The Way was one of the great comforting songs we heard. Several radio stations touted traditional American values. We saw a huge billboard that read, Blue Lives Matter, Trump/Pence. My point is that, listening to mainstream media, one could easily conclude that we have lost the America we love.
There are more of us who love God, our country, our National Anthem and our flag than those who do not. It reminds me of that guy in the Bible who was depressed because he thought he was the only one left in Israel who had not succumbed to worshiping false gods. God told the man he had 7,000 who had not bowed to Baal. Sometimes when standing up for righteousness we feel alone.
