Senator Cory Booker just broke the record for longest Senate speech, previously held by segregationist Strom Thurmond. (AP)
Thurmond stood for segregation… Booker stood longer for compassion.

Cory Booker now has the longest filibuster in US history, passing racist Dixiecrat Strom Thurmond (24 hrs, 18 mins, 1957).
I’m thankful to see an African-American senator knock Strom off his perch.

Patriotism is not about supporting whatever our country does. It’s about helping our country become the best version of itself.

A true warning is judgment to the hard hearted and grace to the repentant

The word translated "hospitality" in the NT is philoxenia, which is a combination of two words: love (phileo) and the word for stranger (xenos).
Worldly thinking: "xenophobia" = fear/hatred of the stranger or foreigner.
Kingdom thinking: "philoxenia" = love of strangers; hospitality
