As a theatre major, dance was required. It didn’t bother me but it also didn’t play to my strengths. Let’s face it, wearing tights is cool if you are a superhero, not so much if you are not. Most of us had the standard issue black body suit and tights. I have long leg hair, blond long leg hair, there is nothing attractive about a no superhero, in black tights, with long blond leg hair sticking out! I’m not sure I was any good at any of the disciplines but ballet, let’s just say I was not going to be on any ballet stage unless I got lost trying to find my seat. This means I am not good at tiptoeing which means there is a good chance my attempts to talk about racism will, just as in my short ballet attempts, fall flat on my face.

Although this is brought on by one event it is a call for all those who follow Christ to stop letting anyone who claims a connection to Christianity use Christianity to further their own agenda regardless of their political stripe

Note: I don’t like political stunts with a Bible – I would have, however, been comfortable if he had opened up the word of God and read “Here there is no Gentile or Jew, circumcised or uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave or free, but Christ is all, and is in all.” Colossians 3:11 that would take it from a photo op to a meaningful use of scripture.
