    “Let’s be clear: Despite its name, Christian nationalism is not a religious viewpoint, and it is certainly not Christian. It is instead a political ideology, one that distorts the Gospel and ignores the Constitution by merging American and conservative Christian identities, all with the goal of building political power for the right wing at any cost.” 1

    “Rachel Maddow looks at the racist, antisemitic roots of “Christian nationalism” as advocated by American politician Gerald L.K. Smith in the 1950s, and the renewed embrace of the tenets of that disgraced movement by supporters of Donald Trump like Marjorie Taylor Greene and Republican candidate for Pennsylvania governor Doug Mastriano.” Rachel Maddow Show, July 25, 2022

    The Kindness Just Keeps on Coming by Ross Reck

    As I mentioned in last week’s Reminder, I fell on my knee and ruptured the quadricep tendon in my right leg. As a result, I spent two weeks in a hospital while the tendon was reattached. This resulted in my wife Marcia and I being on the receiving end of lots and lots of kindness. Just when I thought that I had seen all the kindness I was going to see for a while, the doorbell rang. It turned out to be a small entourage from Trader Joe’s which is my favorite store. They brought us a bouquet of sunflowers (my favorite) and a card carrying the well wishes from 25 store employees!! This is a great example of how kind people never have to face adversity alone!!
