We juxtaposed many things today:

On my daily commute to Oak Cliff, I shoot straight through the heart of downtown Dallas. And as I drive to the church I pastor, Kessler Park United Methodist, I often encounter lanyard-wearing convention goers.

I unpacked the troubling situation at Lydia Patterson Institute in El Paso: The Trump Administration has paused visa approvals for dozens of school children at this United Methodist School.
Full details, and ways you can take action here:
