Three Things God Taught me Through Mowing the Grass
It’s officially summer and even more certain than summer sun, is the confidence we can have that the grass will grow and someone will have to cut it. Until just a few years ago that someone had never been me. It wasn’t until I bought my own home, that I purchased a flashy orange mower and set out on my first grass mowing experience. Those early workouts behind that roaring beast were intimidating, yet exciting. I felt tough and accomplished as I trimmed the steep embankments of my small section of Appalachia.

As the Biden administration amps up its support for the LBGTQ+ community by proclaiming June 2021, as Pride Month, many conservatives are pushing back, infuriated by what feels like another political attack against their Christian values. Businesses creating ads in support of Pride Month have already received backlash from conservatives. Many protest saying that businesses should remain nonpolitical and strive to minimize divisiveness, while providing all customers equal service regardless of race, religion or gender orientation. They wonder what is the point of the ad when there is really nothing new in the content. Haven’t they already been doing this? While others are utterly offended, and threaten to put action to their offense by boycotting businesses that advertise their support for the LBGTQ+ community, based upon…
