Chronicles of a Christian in Progress. Asymp; 2 Comments. It’s fun (#sarcasm) to put your weight out in the world for everyone to see.

Who’s empathetic, who’s silently judging, who’s a tiny bit disgusted? Who’s even reading this? It ran in my family and I. What it had done to some of my family members and I. You are c...

Changed over time, and I can catch my thinking early enough to stop before I do something stupid. I hate that the thinking and the emotions that drive this issue are still so live and present, but I can give thanks for the ability to act differently, and to understand that I want something different and better for myself.

As another opportunity to reveal some of these facts of our history to a wider audience. Writing it out, these feel like such tiny, insignificant interventions, and I feel like I have so little power to make a difference. On the other hand, I have to start somewhere. Larr; Previous post.

What are you looking for? 8221; I’ll have to answer it again for another group of people at a leadership development retreat in a few weeks. And while I’m very happy with the answer “nannying for my niece,” I also know there’s that lingering question: what does that have to do with pursuing a path as a social justice leader?

After watching three episodes, here’s my take. Since the last time I remember seeing a TV show that wasn’t on BET and featured a predominantly black cast was two decades ago, I can’t help but appreciate the mere existence of this show.

https://bhmbrooks.wordpress.com/ground-rules
