Graduation & The Thereafter...

Graduation & The Thereafter...
(R. Bonifacio, M.D. Wright)

A friend of mine (and in the future, check the bottom of my posts -- because I will give publishing credit to the people who inspire a blog or who have asked for me to write something that was on their minds and they weren't desirous to write it) suggested I do this, so here goes:

As most of you know, UNC Greensboro graduates this Friday, May 15, 2009 at 10:00 am at the Greensboro Coliseum. For those who have received invitations from me (or my family regarding the BBQ following Commencement) you can ignore this.

I am asking that each of my friends on here donate $10 (or whatever is in your hearts to give) toward my getting back on my feet, paying for exams/application fees and rent, while I continue my career search this summer.

If you decide to do so, my information is as follows:

Michael D. Wright
1212-B Oakland Avenue
Greensboro, NC 27403
336.340.5506
mdwright212@gmail.com

I also have PayPal, but that is a bit too tedious.

Saludos,

MDW

For the churched out there, especially for those of us who have served over ministries and seen the inner workings of "church" that most people don't see or know about, I want to pose a thought.

Does anyone see the disturbing trend that is underway; the one where pastors over a particular church act like front runners, only associating with the elite professionals, shucking, jiving, shilling for them, meanwhile blatantly ignoring (and in some cases, as I have witnessed...) putting those down who aren't doctors, lawyers, politicians, etc.?

It's not a big deal to me, but I wonder if anyone else notices this.

Makes you wonder what some of them will do when the people who they put down, never tried to help when it was apparent they weren't doing so well -- end up experiencing big success and become the very "elite" that they so commonly side with.

Just a rumination.
