Radical Hospitality...Rain

I want to blast these "religious freedom" laws that allow the legal practice of discrimination. I want to say just the right words that will change people's minds and help them not be afraid. I do not understand the "Christian" support for behaviors that seem utterly opposite to "love God and love your neighbor as yourself." One of Richard Rohr's quotes in this morning's devotional was:
The Christian religion was made-to-order to grease the wheels of human consciousness toward love, non-violence, justice, inclusivity, love of creation, and the universality of such a message.
And we've taken the death of Jesus for those ideals and turned it into permission for discrimination.

Instead, I listen to the rain and am grateful for the radical hospitality God shows to God's earth. Remember, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. God doesn't limit services to those he thinks are sinful.

It's a good thing. I've kinda taken to the oxygen laying around.

Lord have mercy on us. Forgive us our sin.
