Open note to Roy Moore (suspended Chief Justice of the Alabama State Supreme Court) and his supporters: It is not about winning arguments or legal battles. It's about winning souls. In order to be salt & light we must out love and out live those critics of our faith. Methinks all of you are doing neither.

Open suggestion to Roy Moore and his supporters: Go back to work. Render to Caesar what is Caesar's. It isn't like the government is trying to eradicate the real 10 Commandments...just trying to get you to move a piece of stone you illegally put there. Make a fountain out of it and put it in your backyard. It'll make a great conversation piece around the barbeque.

Civil disobedience should be over higher principles than this. (Foreshadowing...the key to quality literature.)

P.S. Check out this quote from an article at Alabama Live News: "Hundreds of monument supporters, meanwhile, remained entrenched at the state judicial building Tuesday in a scene that's become part religious revival, part siege.

Fried chicken, pizzas, bags of cookies and cases of drinking water were laid in for the long haul as the growing throng prayed, sang and ate beneath towering columns just a glance away from the 5,300-pound monument inside.

"It's real biblical as far as I'm concerned," said Lorraine Adams, who drove in from Birmingham last week. "I can see the two fish, loaves of bread happening here. It's a feast for God's people."
