Clarence Jordan, founder of interracial Koinonia Farm in GA, target of Klan terror, d 10/29/1969. He believed the problem with Christianity today stemmed from Christians missing the radical and disturbing challenge of the Incarnation. @OrbisBooks

The master woke from troubled dreams: He and his family were cast down from the estate, his servants turned their backs on him, all his wealth had vanished, and peasants were sleeping in his bed. He resolved never again to read the Bible before retiring. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master tested his staff’s loyalty by demanding their agreement with random propositions: that ice melts faster in autumn than spring; that hibernating bears dream in French. What made the tests objective is that he himself did not know the answers. #TolstoysTalesofTrump

The master was haunted by the specter of nasty women—some who had resisted his advances, others who accused him of crimes, asked him very inappropriate questions, interrupted his “magnificently brilliant” answers, or secretly laughed at him behind his back. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
I will soon be giving a first in television history full, unedited preview of the vicious attempted “takeout” interview of me by Lesley Stahl of @60Minutes. Watch her constant interruptions & anger. Compare my full, flowing and “magnificently brilliant” answers to their “Q’s”.

Welcoming a gathering of friends and family, the master dispelled an ugly rumor: “Regardless of what you have heard, I’m actually the least genocidal person in this room,” he insisted. #TolstoysTalesofTrump
