"Today, it's one more relic of a past that isn't coming back, and that's, well, a shame." What a beautiful conclusion to an incredibly poignant and well-written piece. Bravo Alex. Bravo.

Such a great recap of what we are experiencing in our society. Thank you. It is truly an appalling thing to see happening every day in the news, on social media and in politics. It was so obvious in the comments this past week with the approach of the super bowl and its aftermath. Two particular people have been called out repeatedly for being in the news, for how they spend their money, who they endorse politically, their belief in the Covid vaccine and what ever other picky thing people can think of. They aren't criminals. They haven't littered the planet with children. They do things that bring joy to many peoples lives and yet, they are reviled and judged. How did we become so small minded? When did this become the Christian way? How far we have fallen. There are evils in our world that we ignore and there is plenty of shame to go around but the personal shame is the saddest. Thanks for the reminder.
