“Trans people are sacred!” (Billboard in Detroit) The word sacred refers to things related to God, including things created by God. Perhaps this thought might be a new way of looking at racism, and the LGBTQ issue…to see all people as God’s creation, to see all people as sacred. St Paul wrote that there’s a creation beyond our knowing. I like the children’s hymn: ”All things bright and beautiful…the Lord God made them all.” Let’s not try to limit the sacred. ;-) Jack
From JT of SJ: Very meaningful to me. Thank you for the kind and generous words My lovely daughter is transgender and very kind, generous and courageous. I’m so proud of her.===JACK: Everyone has a story. Thanks for sharing a portion of yours.
FROM DR J IN OH: I like how you think and your open mindedness... you’ve helped me recognize over the years that religion can be free of hypocrisy if we truly follow the word of God. Love has no boundaries ... ===JACK: Religion, for better or worse, is what we believe about God. And what we believe about God is usually the result of what we've have been told about God. If you have the opportunity to choose, choose your teachers well.

FROM JH ON THE DETROIT RIVER: Amen
