Today at the Editor’s Glance:

Guest preachers at First Church of Palm Coast, 91 Old Kings Road North: Rev. Dr. E. J. Parker preaches at the 8 a.m. service, and the Rev. Dr. Clifton Davis preaches at the 11 a.m. service. Rev. Parker received his Bachelor of Arts degree in Liberal Studies from Wilberforce University, a Master of Divinity degree from the Candler School of Theology at Emory University, and the Doctor of Ministry degree in Homiletics – conferred with distinction – from United Theological Seminary in Dayton, Ohio. He’s a staff writer and commentator for “The African-American Lectionary,” a digital, scholarly journal for preachers and Christian educators. He is the pastor of Hurst Chapel A.M.E. Church in Riviera Beach, Florida. The Rev. Dr. Clifton Davis, internationally renowned actor and recording artist, is probably best known for his five-year run as Rev. Rueben Gregory on the popular NBC TV series, “Amen” and other TV credits starring in “The Melba Moore & Clifton Davis Show,” “That’s My Mama,” and co-hosting the Stellar Gospel Music Awards. Among his iconic credits, Rev. Davis wrote The Jackson 5’s No. 2 hit, “Never Can Say Goodbye,” for which he received a Grammy nomination. Rev. Davis holds a B.A. degree in Theology from Oakwood College in Huntsville, Alabama, and a Master of Divinity degree from Andrews University in Michigan. He received an honorary Doctor of Ministry degree, and is a recipient of an honorary Doctor of Letters degree from Lincoln University. His interdenominational ministry spans over 40 years, evangelizing throughout the nation, and leading thousands to the love of God through Christ Jesus.

They’d sold their homes and come south, in large part, they said, because of the high taxes in New York, New Jersey, and Maryland. This was a near-universal refrain. Low taxes, low homeowner’s-association fees, warm climate, like-minded folk: you can’t knock it. In one sense, it was heartening that men and women who’d put their life on the line had got a chance to live out their next chapter in a place like Margaritaville. But I couldn’t help thinking, home-town-centrically, of all the retired public-sector employees I’d met in Latitude Margaritaville from high-tax blue states who’d got their pensions, which were funded (or underfunded) by those high taxes, and had withdrawn to this low-tax red state. It wasn’t just one-per-centers who were fleeing to Florida to escape the state and city tax regimens of the Northeast. Our ramshackle system of interstate tax arbitrage had provided incentives for teachers, bureaucrats, health workers, firefighters, and police officers to exacerbate both the exodus and, perversely, the burden on the taxpayers left behind. Whatever one’s politics, it wasn’t hard to see Latitude Margaritaville as a manifestation of an economy out of whack. The excesses and segregations of the Jupiter Island and Mar-a-Lago sets were one symptom of misalignment; here, less conspicuously, was another. Latitude Margaritaville came off both as an escape from America and as the most quintessentially American setting of all.

–From “Letter from Daytona Beach: Retirement the Margaritaville Way,” by Nick Paumgarten, The New Yorker, March 21, 2022.

    It’s fascinating to me that so many people think that Jesus was not a liberal! How about God? These guys (gals?) just don’t like immigrants, people of varying colors, people of varying beliefs or even countries? Well, I guess being intolerant is on the safe side. Look what happened to Jesus. He got crucified, and then became the hero of the intolerant. They justify intolerance in his name.

    As for the sake of your children, you had better learn what a real pedophile is, not this made up Qrazy stuff that is being used by politicians solely for the purpose of them keeping a lousy job.

    I’ve lost all confidence in our government ability to govern. They can’t balance a budget, work together under any form of accountability to ensure the job we’ve elected them to do gets done. I feel like it’s time we, as Americans , start entertaining the notion of forgetting about who endorses whom, and start paying close attention to what individual candidates are campaigning on and whether or not they represent you and your families CORE VALUES.
    We need to stop thinking of POLITICS as something that doesn’t matter. Because POLITICS is what has caused the mess we’re in now! At least trump was for America!

      Horrific corrupt, treasonous, racist, sexist, lying, TWICE impeached trump actually represents the very worst part of a MINORITY of human beings that live in the USA. trump never “was for” the MAJORITY of American people that still strongly . . . through all the insane culture wars . . . believe in our democracy and constitution.

      “WE” the educated, thinking , caring, open minded, courageous, law abiding MAJORITY of the people in the USA still live proudly integrating highly principled moral standards of ethics, integrity, honesty and honor in our daily lives. “WE” passionately support fundamental democratic tenets such as freedom of religion and speech, inclusiveness and equality, citizenship, consent of the governed, voting rights, freedom from unwarranted governmental deprivation of the right to life and liberty, and minority rights.

      trump will NEVER represent the “BEST” of America!
