Becoming a father and having children changes your view in this world

There’s an old joke what do you call a communist in Berkeley with two kids?

Answer: a Republican.

(The above was 'stolen' from someone ... somewhere!)

After a last-minute announcement on Friday, thousands of people gathered to worship with Kanye West in Baton Rouge, Louisiana.

With no stage, lights, or fancy audio equipment, Jonathan Stockstill, the pastor of Bethany Church, introduced the rapper to the crowd.

“Can we hear it for Jesus?” Stockstill asked. “He is king tonight.”

West, standing between wooden crosses, opened with “Closed on Sunday,” with his daughter North sitting on top of his shoulders.

“You my Chick-Fil-A,” West rapped. “Hold the selfies. Put the ’gram away. Get your family. Y’all hold hands and pray. … Raise our sons. Train them in the faith, through temptations. Make sure they’re wide awake. Follow Jesus. Listen and obey.”

Curvine Brewington, a musician and pastor at Crossroads Church in Lafayette, Louisana, attended the event and took to Instagram to point out the spiritual change he saw first hand in West.

“If you’ve ever doubted the legitimacy or spiritual impact of this #sundayservice project, simply look at this incredible shot taken by @rebeccabradley__ during the altar call,” sharing a photo that showcased a large crowd with their hands in the air.

“YES, I said ALTAR CALL,” he added.

Thousands lifted their hands in worship, Christ’s name was lifted, and powerful prayers were said, Brewington shared.

“Tonight, worship was lifted, the name of Christ was exalted, the Word of God was preached, a multitude prayed together, the Gospel was clearly proclaimed, and an opportunity to respond was given,” Brewington wrote. “In a crowd of 6,000 people from all walks of life, all ages, and all races, I personally witnessed over 1,000 individuals accept Jesus as their Lord & Savior!”

He added that while many are doubting the rapper in his newfound faith, “the Spirit of the Living God was indeed present.”

I hope Kanye is discipled by a godly man. He can't go it alone as a baby Christian.
That name, Stockstill, jumped out at me. I went to college with Jonathan's father.
