Hey Jon,
This is "Carrie" again.
Do not know if you attended the "Interactive" class this morning or not, but I would have been there if I hadn't been met by two black officers presenting me a letter from Rev? Dr? Beth on behalf of the congregation as represented by administrative council
that
my presence on property of
St. Mark
(private?property vs. God's?property)
shall constitute a criminal trespass from the time of the delivery of that letter..?
As I was raised Methodist first eighteen years of my life,
is
this really all that much different
than
the less than 25 year old residents
of
the Lost and Found Shelter on the property of St. Mark.
Rev? Dr? Beth on behalf of St. Mark
has just now justified the very same reasoning behind these kids?kicked out of their homes in the first place.
I've already told Beth this,
but
maybe it would help to say the same thing a different way:
"She's nothing but a Catholic
Fag Hag being paid a Methodist Administer;
and the bigger the lie needing protected the bigger the income one "Abel" earning."

See!
It appears I'm "Abel" looping God into a circle and hanging him around our necks like an albatross.
Just did it not only with the whole of St. Mark but all Methodists everywhere!
"Sounds like you are preaching to me. I don't listen to people who preach to me."

I'm definitely not liking how it's seeming we are going about expiating for our sins..?

I can't help but find this letter handed to me Sunday morning July 5th , 2015 by two uniformed police officers when showing up for the Adult Interactive Class.
As I was leaving St. Mark United Methodist Church the previous Sunday after the Interactive class over, I said to the very same female officer handing me this letter from the senior pastor of St. Mark:
"LOVE! LOVE! LOVE!
If I hear God is 'LOVE' one more time I''m go to scream."
Then I asked this black female officer what she knew about Martin Luther King's I Have a Dream Speech as it relates to Malcolm X's role in our African-Americans gaining their civil rights. She only knew that Malcolm X's espoused violence as the means to gaining their civil rights.
“Truly I tell you, some who are standing here will not taste death before they see that the kingdom of God has come with power.”
~(Mark 9:1 )~
I not only knew way more than she did, asking her what she thinking might have happened after Martin Luther Kings speech had Malcolm X's not been present in Martin Luther King's shadow?
Even told her, jokingly, of going home and coming back with a cool looking water pistol of mine teaching some of these useless faggots along with their Rev. Dr. Beth and Rev. Josh Noblitts a lessons about indifference.

Mark 6:1-13
New International Version
(NIV)
A Prophet Without Honor
6 Jesus left there and went to his hometown, accompanied by his disciples. 2 When the Sabbath came, he began to teach in the synagogue, and many who heard him were amazed.
4 Jesus said to them, “A prophet is not without honor except in his own town, among his relatives and in his own home.” 5 He could not do any miracles there, except lay his hands on a few sick people and heal them.
6 He was amazed at their lack of faith.
Jesus Sends Out the Twelve
Then Jesus went around teaching from village to village. 7 Calling the Twelve to him, he began to send them out two by two and gave them authority over impure spirits.8 These were his instructions: “Take nothing for the journey except a staff—no bread, no bag, no money in your belts. 9 Wear sandals but not an extra shirt. 10 Whenever you enter a house, stay there until you leave that town. 11 And if any place will not welcome you or listen to you, leave that place and shake the dust off your feet as a testimony against them.”

Hey Jon,
It's been over a week since we've discussed the possibility of the two of us debating politics/religion as avatars in the role as Carrie (stigmatized?active wise) vs. Pollyanna (love?indifference/passive wise). I'm still wanting to do this, even inviting you and your partner into my home for this debate.
Or just let me know that you have changed your mind? You won't be the first, not even close.
One more favor...
could you pass my phone number on to Tim Anderson and let him know that I had every intention of calling him later that same Sunday we crossed path outside St. Mark but misplaced the card he had given me. Would not have surprised me Don Clarke picking it up and failing to hand it back to me..?
His demeanor toward me certainly changed when apparent me and Tim were acquaintance.
LOL
