6Coming to the table late for a share of the American pie can lead to a lot of misunderstandings, especially coming from different cultures. Who or what should influence the appropriation of a slice of pie? God or culture? The answer can be funny or heartbreaking when the people involved already come to the table with a set of ideas that are more subjective than objective, but firmly ingrained. Be entertained. I was born on the Island of Guadeloupe (FWI), Immigrated to the US in 1990, lives in Pennsylvania. However, before all I am a disciple of Jesus; everything I do is influenced by that.
