"42 Seconds"

I'm currently reading the book "42 Seconds" by Carl Medearis.  The premise of the book is that forty-two seconds is the average length of Jesus' conversations as recorded in the Gospels.  This week's challenge was to discern what's really going on with people.  

Last night at work, a Muslim woman was early for "Women's Only Swimming Lessons" so we chatted for a bit with me attempting to follow the principals found in this book.  

Sure enough, she was born in Somalia, lived in Kenya for a bit, and then came to Minnesota while she was in HIGH SCHOOL.  She's lived here for a while.  Do you know what her greatest fear is as a Muslim woman?  The angry people standing behind Donald Trump.  

A very sad statement for America, indeed.
