It is with great sadness that I learn of the sudden passing of long time American Thinker columnist Lloyd Marcus. Marcus, a black man, billed himself as the unhyphenated American, something I greatly appreciated. Because the fact of a man's color is not what defines him, or should not. Nor should being gay, or trans. These things may or may not be aspects of our lives, but they are not what defines us.
I used to ask new acquaintances what they did for a living. But I have come to realize that what one may do for a living also is not what defines a person. It is rather the spirit inside us, that connects with the Holy Spirit, that defines each of us. If you are defining yourself by what you do, or the color of your skin, you are selling yourself much too short.
I did not know Lloyd Marcus personally, but I suspect the musician and artist in me would have liked him personally. I know my own spirit connected with his. May he rest in peace, and be received into God's Holy Kingdom with a hearty "Well done!"
