Ethnicity, Reconciliation, and Justice

So you’re heading off to Romania/Burundi/Ecuador for a mission trip/study abroad/backpacking adventure. 

I want to tell you about one of my most painful experiences with racism.

Imagine that God created the whole world like my hometown: Orlando, Florida. What would that be like?

Our first president, George Washington, was born on February 22. Abraham Lincoln, another iconic president, was also born mid-February.

Faithful minister, brave prophet, unshakeable activist—Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. is a national hero. 

For all its manifold charms—Vince Guaraldi’s evergreen jazz score first among them—the highlight of the Charlie Brown Christmas special is the moment when Linus recites the story of the angels announcing Jesus’ birth.

“No probable cause exists to indict Officer Wilson.”

I have many reasons to be proud of my ethnic heritage and culture.

Are you tired of crappy, superficial, purely electronic friendships?
