Stone Catchers
Bryan Stevenson is a human rights lawyer and author – his book Just Mercy is a NY Times Bestseller. The following is from a 2012 interview with Chris Hedges for Smithsonian Magazine:
Stevenson turns frequently to the Bible. He quotes to me from the Gospel of John, where Jesus says of the woman who committed adultery: “He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her.”
He tells me an elderly black woman once called him a “stone catcher.”
“There is no such thing as being a Christian and… Read More

A Surprise Party That I Know Is Happening
My friends are throwing a book release party for me this Sunday at 5pm – at NWLife Church in Renton. I don’t know all the details because it’s kinda like a surprise party that I know is happening, but I don’t exactly know what is happening. Does that make sense?

Yes. This Is Still An Issue Today. (Segregation In The Church)
The headline of an article I read last week shocked me. It announced:
Sunday Morning in America Still Segregated – and That’s OK With Worshipers
It was the findings of a study conducted by LifeWay Research – and here’s what they had to say…
- Sunday morning remains one of the most segregated hours in American life, with more than 8 in 10 congregations (86%) made up of one predominant racial group. And most worshipers like it that way.
- Two-thirds of American churchgoers (67 percent) say their church has done enough to become racially diverse. Less than half think their church should become more diverse.
- Researchers also found churchgoers who oppose more diversity do so with gusto. A third (33 percent) strongly disagree… Read More
