Welcome to the Restock!

Updates and Changes

No big changes this month, but I was doing some travel for part of it; thanks so much to Katy, our fill-in restocker, for making sure LFFC kept working while I was traveling.

It’s somewhat amusing in December of all times to hear folks who say they’re “Christian” also pushing “tough love” for the houseless, saying that if they “refuse to work” then they should get nothing. There are… a lot of bad assumptions to unpack in that sort of statement, but people not too familiar with the deep workings of (hateful) Christian sects might assume that the theology was at least supportive of the statement. A friend of mine gave a sermon to his upstate NY congregation a few weeks back on where that idea comes from in the Bible—and why it’s incorrect. (And, again, hateful.)
