We feel sorry for poor people who are just trying to get by. We want to give them a break, and we want to see others do the same. If we're honestly trying to love our neighbor, we'll probably help them out — with money, ... http://www.redbluechristian.com/?p=1339 How does the command to love our neighbor as ourselves relate to illegal immigration?

But ... http://www.redbluechristian.com/?p=1334 These are my thoughts for the past week as well as for this Sunday, May 9, 2010, the 6th Sunday of Easter and Mother’s Day.
