Dear Friend,
Today is a big day in my blogging life! My first guest post is up at Tim Fall's blog, Just One Train Wreck After Another. I wrote about a subject which is dear to my heart: embracing the Gospel through racial reconciliation.
| I dedicate my first guest post to Keilind, who recently turned eight. Happy Birthday, Keilind! |
My husband Joe is a masonry contractor. A few months ago he was building a parking garage in our city. At lunch time he and his brick mason walked across the street to a small corner store. The proprietor was a black man of late middle age. He nodded in greeting to these two white men as they entered.
“I honestly just wanted to be friendly to the guy,” Joe told me later. “I tried to start a conversation. I noticed that he was playing heavy metal in the place. I thought that was odd, so I said, ‘This don’t sound like your kind of music.’”
A shadow passed over the man’s face. Joe’s employee cringed and looked away.
“Now, why would you say that?” asked the shop owner.
Peace & Joy,
Adriana
