Racial Rat Race



Nobody cares to hear my perspective but this is my blog. This is the place I can turn to get thoughts out of my head.  Even with the horrid grammar and spelling, they're my thoughts so here goes:

I've seen way too much racial propaganda in my lifetime.  I've seen it smeared around on ALL fronts by people of every tone and hue like toddlers finger painting with their poop.  It's blinding every one's vision and IT REEKS!  It reeks with the pungent odor of death; of sin.  It's stinkin' up my nostrils so I can't even begin to imagine what it's doing to God's!  So, what's to say to it all? Carmen (a singer) has a song with a line in it that answers this dilemma: "The answer is, Jesus period."

Because we are all descendants of Adam we are all one race.  A race overflowing with the luscious variations of skin tones that only a master painter can achieve; and bursting with a cultural diversity that pours out with the story of every human heart. Sadly, we pathetic finite beings fail to recognize and embrace the splendor of the Artisan's work.  We've been messing this up since The Fall and have even continued since Christ.

However, there are those that understand their lineage.  They are sinful people in desperate need of saving.  They also labor with Christ because of his mercy and grace. They labor with Him, because of Him, to bring the hope of that same mercy and grace that washes away all the putrid grime in hearts and minds revealing disciples. Disciples that know we are all descendants of Adam. Therefore we are one race with each individual bearing the image of God and bearing the hope of reunion with Him.

Please stop the racial propaganda.   It's time to end the Racial Rat Race because we're just spinning a giant wheel.  I think we all just need a nap.
