Dear friends, My wife, Lynn, and I are one week into a month of driving across America. We left Northern Virginia and are headed to California and back. It’s been a great opportunity to meet with two churches, and we look forward to meeting with other friends of Five Talents. I am quickly learning how big this country is, and I wish there were time to meet with more of you. This last week was emotional as we spent time in Montgomery, Birmingham, and Selma Alabama and in Jackson Mississippi. There are extraordinary museums and monuments here related to the civil rights movement that started in the 1950s. Lynn and I took this picture here of the church where congressman John Lewis started the 50-mile March in 1965 from Selma to the state capital in Montgomery. That march helped lead to the enactment of the Voting Rights Act. |
