What’s Little Rock like?

September 5th, 2005 · 4 Comments · 25 views

24,000 refugees hit Arkansas today. That’s on top of those who are already here. How will LR respond? Hard to say.

We have the highest percentage of “confessing evangelical” population. That’s right, world. 1 in 5 people in Little Rock claim to be followers of Jesus.

We are also the world’s meanest city to homeless people.

I wonder if those two stats mean that we have the largest population of posers, fakes, and Pharisees…

    thats because many (many, not all!)evangelical christians dont like homeless people.

    gotta save their souls, not fill their stomachs.

    well, at least thats the stance held by so many evangelicals that i know.

    Well, we got our share of refugees here in Utah… LDS is having a huge part of the operation and you can guess what will happen there….

    Hey. Long time no see. I am going to email you later today to kind of update you on everything with me.

    I read your post about babysitters…anytime you need one I’ll come home to keep your kids. They’re great and I don’t get to see them as often anymore so I’d be glad to come back to keep them. I am not that far and I’m normally home on the weekends anyways! But any night you need a sitter, I’d be fine with coming back.

    I’ll email details about life later…haha. Have a good day!
