“thank you for seeing me as a person…” this concept of invisibility is huge in my life
Presbyterian Committee on the Self-Development of People
People helping people.
That’s a beautiful thing
I never would have thought about skin color being a form of sedition …
We must recognize everyone as a person; valuable and worthy of love. No person should feel invisible. We are equal in the eyes of God.
So true, but something that has been difficult for Christianity to accomplish
We are the church.
hallelujah
“The first act of love is listening.” — Paul Tillich
The first act of love is listening.
We are listening this morning. Thank you for a wonderful message.
The bias in our criminal justice system must be changed
This happened to one of my inmates that I worked with in the max security prison…he came back because he had zero support, zero hope…prison was his place where he had friends.
So sad that the support isn’t there for so many when they are released from prison
Miranda Rowland Thus demonstrating the importance of relationships.

Thank you sir
Mom, the final authority
Let go of the toy!
Not easy to do when when “desire” that toy!
Miranda, the important thing was that you listened to the inmate and recognized how frustrated and lost he must have felt, seeking support and not finding it.
I told him how nice it was to see him and how sad I was that nobody recognized his greatness outside.
Let go of the fears!
I went to church TODAY!
Love this very simple tune
