The Lesson of Selma

12/23/2014

Due to being related by marriage, I was privileged to have a private viewing of the new movie, Selma. After my mom died almost 40 years ago, my dad married a lovely woman, Marie Reeb. She was widowed 10 years before when her husband, James Reeb, a Boston minister went to support Dr. Martin Luther King in the civil rights marches at Selma, Alabama in 1965. While he was there, he was bludgeoned to death by white racists as he and a fellow minister were leaving a restaurant. 

I was in my early teens when this was happening and I understood the severity of the problem, but was not in the problem. I have an acquaintance who is a little older who was actively involved with what was happening during this time. She accompanied me to the viewing and said it was very accurate. If you get a chance to go to the movie, do. There is much to take in and much to learn. Sometimes I wonder if we ever learn...

I wrote a blog a while back that compared the church’s theology of women, subjection, and domination by men to how blacks were treated in this country for years. Both of these scenarios allow for a particular people group to be subjugated, demeaned, devalued, and seen as less than human. God created humankind in His image. We are all descended from the original “parents”. The DNA of human beings is always the DNA of human beings. It matters not that DNA comes from a black skinned person, a white skinned person, or a yellow skinned person, a male or a female. They are ALL people, human beings made in the image of YHVH. (If you are not familiar with what Scripture actually says about the function of the woman, then read some previous posts for clarity. If you disagree, check for yourself the original languages and contexts.)

    Napoleon Dynamite makes me laugh. The mountains are home.  I really hope there will be chocolate in eternity. I don’t have a lot of friends, but the ones I do have are spectacular! More than anything, I want to please my Creator. 

    How you live your life defines who you are.
