Welcome to the monthly Faith on the Fringe update.
In this month’s update, you’ll find links I published on Patheos in August and a few of the new memes I posted on Faith on the Fringe on Facebook. I also share my conversation with Famous Amos.
*
I don’t publish my sermons every week, but I did for the Sept. 1 sermon.
I shared my thoughts on the scripture during a Facebook live post.
*
Aug. 28 was the anniversary of the March on Washington and Martin Luther King’s “I Have a Dream” speech. How much has changed in 61 years? Not much.
*
Aug. 20 marked the murder of Civil Rights activist Jonathan Daniels.
*
Wally Amos, the Famous Amos cookie creator passed away on Aug. 14.
When I was writing my second book, Soar to Success the Wright Way, I used a lot of motivational quotes from well known public figures. I tried to track down the origins of as many as I could, but it wasn’t easy.
Had an enjoyable conversation with Famous Amos about the veracity of quotes found in books like ours.
“The actual words don’t matter,” Famous Amos said to me, gesturing with his hands to make his point. “What matters is the truthfulness of the words.”
*
A brief Aug. 12 news story about convicted felon Donald Trump was worth noting. I wrote about it here.
*
Aug. 12 was the anniversary of the racist riot in Charlottesville. Charlottesville. Jan. 6. Racist traitors.
*
Aug. 8 was the anniversary of the 1945 mass murder in Nagisaki, Japan.

A reminder that I’d love to speak in person with your group or church. Feel free to contact me.
