    WASHINGTON, D.C. — Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy was reportedly invited to an official meeting in the Oval Office today after President Trump spotted him climbing a sycamore tree outside the White House just to see him. According to sources, Zelenskyy was trying to see Trump, and he was unable to do so not only because of the press pool surrounding him, but also because he was short in stature. So he ran on ahead and climbed up a sycamore tree in the South Lawn of the White House to see him, for he was to pass that way. Witnesses...

    This follow-up to my original article is intended to address the idea of restitution and how Zacchaeus fits into our modern-day narrative.

"The virus of racism infected our church, our Constitution and laws, our attitudes and ideologies. We have never fully defeated it," Dalrymple wrote.

    “The Joy of Zacchaeus” (Luke 19:1-10)The story of Zacchaeus is a very famous and familiar story in the Bible. Most of us probably remember it from our Sunday School lessons and from that children’s song we all learned. You know the one I’m talking about. It goes like this: Zacchaeus was a wee little man, A wee little man was he; He climbed up in a sycamore tree, For the Lord he wanted to see. And when the Savior passed that way, He looked up in the tree, And he said, “Zacchaeus, you come down from there! For I’m going...
