My name is Edie and I started this blog as a way to converse with others about the Christian walk in everyday life. Comments and questions are welcome. After all it is a walk!

So I was listening to the Karen Hunter Show on SiriusXM today (I have a preview in my car that I just may have to subscribe to thanks to Karen Hunter). She had a very interesting opinion about Hillary Clinton's meeting with members of BlackLivesMatter. Ms. Hunter said that Hillary Clinton gave the representatives she met with some good advice..... but more importantly than that Karen Hunter pointed out what too many of us African Americans choose not to. You have to have a plan or you will fade away into history. I agree.
People want justice but they have no plan on how to get it. They want things to change but they don't know how to spell out those changes and the steps that should be taken. Too many times groups lose focus or take on "members" who don't have a clue or any intention of developing a strategy. I applaud Karen Hunter for pointing out what should be obvoius to anyone keeping up with the news. You have to have a clear well thought out plan, a master chess game, a military-like strategy.
It seems that too often we as a people are just bopping along without any real direction. Karen Hunter, keep doing what you do! BlackLivesMatter, get a plan together and execute it! Don't fade away into obscurity!

Hello again,
I had a very interesting conversation yesterday in Sunday School Teacher's meeting..... ( yes I teach Sunday School, big smile).
One of the ladies was convinced that there are people who do not know right from wrong. She explained that there are youth and young adults that behave in whatever way suits them and that she believes that they do not know what they are doing is wrong, whatever that may be. Stealing, graffiti, cursing, fighting, drug selling and or drug use....
I disagree with her opinion.....but I can see how she arrived at the conclusion. During our discussion I explained that the while the people she speaks of may think that their behavior is normal, they know that it is not right. That it is in fact wrong. There is a chasm of difference between right and normal.
All people know when they do something wrong. It is part of man's Fall from grace. How do we move from "normal" behavior to repentance? Especially when everyone around us does not call us to task and in fact sees absolutely nothing wrong with our behavior? In Matthew 11:28 Jesus says "come unto me all who are burdened and heavy laden and I will give you rest". He tells us to come to him, not get ready, just come to him.
Thank you Jesus for seeing the desperate circumstance many may find themselves in and providing a clear path to Help. To You.
Please share your thoughts on this......
