My pastor friend, Mike Barnes, recently attended a public city gathering in the spirit of meeting new people from the community. The event began with an ice-breaking activity as a mixer. Everyone got a piece of paper taped to his or her back with the name of a specific people-group category. The participants were then asked to walk around and write the first response that came to mind. No one knew who Mike was, and he did not know whom he was representing until the very end. This is what he pulled from his back . . .
