No, Luke, you aren't crazy.

We've moved into a new subdivision which is unique in that respect. The developer is a Christian organization, Wellstone Properties. Wellstone has made it's way for many years building and developing churches across the nation, and particularly in the south.

My subdivision, Mt. Gerizim Crest, is designed to become a community, not just a place to lay your head. From the beginning of the occupancy of the first homes to about two years after construction is completed, a minister - a chaplain if you will - is employed by Wellstone to help see to the needs of the residents, and to guide them in creating that community.

As a part of that process, the minister has gathered the men of the community together to build a mentoring program for the boys in the subdivision. He pointed out that while there are many nuclear families like mine here, there are others with single parent households. Households where a positive male image is needed. And if you can't find that close to home, where else would you find it?

Black conservative ping

If you want on (or off) of my black conservative ping list, please let me know via FREEPmail. (And no, you don't have to be black to be on the list!)

Extra warning: this is a high-volume ping list.
