Treating People


Really something. The pastor mentioned Alexander Whyte.
He wrote
this, which, of course, brought to mind Galen.
Looking for accompanying image, came across the one presented.
One of a
series I saw every school day in the drug store window!

Waiting for the bus. Never thought I'd be involved in medicine.
That's to say, had other career interests, mostly of getting hits...
...and throwing guys out on the base paths. Every time.
Yup.
It wasn't until too late, etc., but I remember these plates.


He preached on Acts 10. Cornelius and Peter meet.
The supervention of custom; the Gospel goes global.
Genotypicality transcended, all are welcome. No barriers.
Great story in the telling, difficult in its application.

Significant that Roman soldier and Jewish tradesman attain agreement by dint of their visions, an implication being it couldn't happen otherwise. How do we treat people who are not only the sociological "outgroup" but also repugnant or castigated as such by the "ingroup?" Well, everybody gets treated! And
treated well.
