#GivingTuesday2014 ~ The #Unselfie ... Church*.

This was a post of today on one my other blogs: "Mission is Everything".  I felt it to be equally appropriate for this blog which explores matter of Faith.



Today is Cyber Monday!  But I am still thinking, and running on and on and on, about #GivingTuesday.
I know; it isn't always cool to talk about church.  If you do, you open yourself up to all sorts of silliness:
    #unselfie-YUMC
  • You may be assumed to be an Ultra-Conservative, gun-toting patriot who lives by the gospel of Sean Hannity or Glenn Beck, if you are a Christian.  Or worse,
  • If you are Catholic, you are a staunch Right-To-Lifer who has no tolerance for, or forgiveness of, those who are not you.  Or worse still,
  • If you are Muslim...well, Sean and Glenn (and their buddy Rush) will point out the FACT that you are indeed a terrorist.  Worst of all,
  • Jews descended directly from those who orchestrated the execution of the rabble-rousing Jesus benJoseph, that pain -in-the-ass troublemaker from Nazareth.  Why else would good Christians call 'em Christ Killers?
We who are deeply involved in our Faith Communities know better.  These are places where those who are hurting can find support, succor and, in many cases, GREAT FOOD.  

Many find a family.

So don't forget to support wherever it is that you worship.  Perhaps, plant your "seat" in one of its seats from time to time.

Church; I'll show you mine if you show me yours...
