Not in my backyard! Is the notion of unwanted yet necessary institutions or industries that begin to develop near your place of residence... such as prisons, nuclear power plants, airports; you get the idea. But if the heart were completely revealed it would include many more things as well... such as people of different color, faith and orientation of the sex kind!
I was thinking about this today as I was driving through a low income neighborhood which is predominantly comprised of a different ethnic background than mine... What am I by the way? Uh... like your typical US citizen... what is that? mmmmm... I don't know anymore but I'm sure it's just like me! Anyway, I got to thinkin' would these folks want me as their neighbor? Could I be the person who would be looked upon as "not wanted?" I've never thought of myself that way - EVER!
What about You? What makes you so special? Hold on, let me rephrase that... What makes you so special!
One asks the other declares... which is it?
Are we coming to a time when churches will be (perhaps we already are) the subject of NIMBY?
We have to ask the question regarding these churches... What makes you so... special? so, others can declare... THIS is what makes them so special!
