What's wrong with this picture?
I was born and raised in Toledo, OH, the home of the infamous Toledo Mud Hens and Tony Packo's world famous hot dogs. I always liked to follow politics, even local elections and remember a fellow named Carty Finkbeiner who was a city councilman when I grew up. Well, now he is the mayor of my hometown and last month he gave an impromptu speech about his religious journey. I was amused by this picture of Mayor Finkbeiner holding up two books that have influenced him in his spiritual path. What's wrong with this picture??? NO, I did not photoshop this one. If you want to read the whole article that describes his "search for God and purpose in life."

Hi Dwight!
Ednella clued me in that you used to go to Emmanuel - which is where I attend and work. It is a small world - I have seen Ednella around blogs for quite some time.
I don't really know what is up with Carty. He has had a very bad temper in previous years. It remains to be seen if he has really changed. I haven't followed the story of his "conversion" (if that is what it is). He was a good mayor last time around. What is the second book he is holding in the picture?
I am sure we know a lot of the same people. My husband has gone to EBC since about 1985 - he was about 25 then. Were you still around then? I did not come to EBC until 1993, although I grew up in Toledo - Catholic.
Did you graduate from Emmanuel Baptist High School? Class of 1981?
OK, now I read the article. I see he doesn't claim to have undergone a great conversion.
Thanks for the article!
