This is a Nigerian thorn carving of the Last Supper that was made decades ago. I love how Africans call things as they see them with no rancor, just truthfully through the filters of their experiences. Note here that Jesus and His disciples are black, but the betrayer Judas walking away from the table in the foreground, is white! I am not in the least offended by this. I grew up in Africa and although I knew white missionaries who loved and poured their lives for  Africa, I also witnessed how white bosses who did not have Jesus in their lives treated Africans with disrespect and betrayal. My personal prayer to the Lord is that I will be filled with Jesus Christ and His love, and never perceived, carved, or depicted as one who betrays Christ.

Today I found out that the compelling urge to overeat on Thanksgiving is actually Biblical! Hahaha!!!
