@Cooperstreaming Checked a book out of the school library when I was 6. The family in the story was bi-lingual and I thought that was the coolest thing. Started learning foreign words. Now speak 2 other languages, can get by in 3 others, have lived overseas and been to 29 countries.

@BethMooreLPM I read history every day. There is no way to count the number of times the church has genuflected to politics in the hope of shared power. It might lead to a veneer of influence for a while, but for the actual message of Jesus, it has never once worked. Never once. Ever.
