Kopp Disclosure
(John 3:19-21)
@#$%

A new member of
the church asked, "What should I call you?"
I replied,
"I've been called many things."
True.
Vocational/discipleship
hazard.
Read Matthew
10:22 for the bad then good about
it.

Then there's my
sister's recent post on Facebook.
She congratulated
our parents on their 60th wedding anniversary (May 5).
Cool.
I'm 62.
Not cool.
So I called my
dad: "Is there something that you forgot to tell me? Sue just posted
on Facebook that it's your 60th wedding anniversary."
Despite being an
upper octogenarian, my dad's noodle is as sharp as his handicap index at Irem Temple
Country Club in Dallas, Pennsylvania: "Ha! Well, well, well, I guess
some folks are right about you being a bastard!"
Yeah, real funny.
Later in the day,
my dad left a short/sharp message
for my sister: "Your brother is not a bastard."
64th.
I'm relieved.

There are no
bastard children in God's family.
He loves everyone
no more nor no less than anyone.
He came and
sacrificed Himself and rose and reigns for everyone no more nor no less than
anyone.
He loves the
world.
That includes you, me, and, uh, them.
While that comes
as a shock to religionists/denominationalists/parochialists and
other segregationists who try to fence His table of Holy Communion and prance
around like nobody knows Him like they know Him, it's/He's true.
We're relieved.

Blessings and Love!
