“The signs around here say, ‘Let’s stop killing each other.’ They need to say, ‘Let’s start loving each other.’ We need more diversity. The coasts are more diverse than the Midwest. In St. Louis we have people moving to the suburbs in the west because they’re afraid. We have to build bridges instead of sprawl.

“I think it ultimately boils down to what you decide, as an individual, to do with Jesus Christ. He is the only person who ever claimed that “all authority in Heaven and on earth has been given to me” and the only leader to ever apparently rise from the dead. All of that is either a myth, a fabrication or it’s the truth! If it’s a myth or a fabrication, then it is of no consequence to us, but if it is true, then it changes everything.
“Personally, I’m convinced that all other questions pale by comparison to that one. And we’ll not really know the right answers to all the other questions in life until we deal with the person for whom our calendar was reestablished.”

“We still have to work out the policy issues. Now it’s hard to get ticketed, not just in Ferguson but in area communities as well. There is an incestuous relationship between prosecutors in some cities as judges in other cities. We are starting to clean that up.”
