Members of Christ, or so they say

1 Corinthians 5-6
Dear God how do we act when there is serious injustice in the world. A little yeast, a little injustice works through the entire batch. We need sincerity and truth. We need an opportunity to be heard.

As Paul says,  if we were to not associate with the immoral,greedy, swindlers or idolaters, we would have no one to associate with, but when they are in the church and calling themselves brother, then you need to not even eat with them.

 We dare not to judge because God does the judging, we take our dispute before the ungodly, and are given an unjust decision.  

I, my family, have a dispute with my grandson's school decision over their 5-6th basketball coach. They suspended this man, a black man, only black in their league for four games. The man was given a technical at the last season game. The kids still won even though they kicked the coach out of the game. That should have been enough of a punishment for him but no, now that they are in the playoffs, they want to suspend him for the rest of the season.

The players are furious and so are their parents. We have the most diverse team, fewest players and we still won. Now, they suspend their coach and tell them if they keep talking about it, they will give the boys detention.

The coach is married to a white girl and they have three children, I think there is some racial bias going on. Now my daughter has asked me to write to you for help. I will send you my official unemotional email pleading for any assistance you can provide to help direct them. I said take it to the media but they don't know how to do that, so I will be coming to you for advice and guidance.

My therapist, who I have seen twice, we meet on Thursdays,
is helping me to try to understand why I have such an unnatural fear of trusting and being intimate with a man that I say I love and want to be with. He knows I'm working on improving my relationship with someone at my church, I said his name is Mike. He says we are working to improve my relationship with men because if he works only to get me to Mike, Mike might just want to tie me up and put me in his trunk. I laughed because I know that's not true.

So just so you know I will be sending you an email pleading for your help and advice.

Moving ahead in 2020

I will not carry resentment into 2020. I will not let anger and hurt follow me into the new year. I forgive, I do not forget. I don’t harbor...
