After an uneasy introduction, I have a deep and abiding love
for Mississippi its people, food, music, and the state’s rich and complicated
history. This familial love story is the result of my husband.
The love and hospitality I receive from Jerry’s family continues to humble me. I admire how my husband’s family has thrived in
spite of difficult circumstances. His family is a wonderful example of
thousands of Mississippians who live, work, and make a difference in their
communities. Yet, too often, people only remember the raw and painful history
of Mississippi.
Today, there is another reason to see how Mississippi has changed.
Dr. Russell Moore is the
President of the Ethics and Religious Commission of the Southern Baptist
Convention. He is from Biloxi, Mississippi. Dr. Moore shares his
thoughts on a national stage regarding culture, ethics, religion, politics and
how faith intersects with culture. His words offer
clear insight on the culture and how is differs with God’s Kingdom agenda.
“For
too long, we’ve called unbelievers to “invite Jesus into your life.” Jesus
doesn’t want to be in your life. Your life is a wreck. Jesus calls you into his
life. And his life isn’t boring or purposeless or static. It’s wild and
exhilarating and unpredictable.”
