Brotherly
Love
“We have
flown the air like birds and swum the sea like fishes, but have yet
to learn the simple act of walking the earth like brothers.”
Martin
Luther King, Jr.
I simply have no words
for this week—only heartbreak and dismay. Between the random
shooting of African American people at a Kroger Store in Kentucky, to
bombs mailed to Democrats around the country, to murder in a
synagogue in Pennsylvania—this has been a hate-filled week in
America. We all need to spend this day, this sabbath, taking stock
and deciding how we want to proceed. Will we find it in our hearts to love one another,
or continue hating anyone who disagrees with us? Let us spend this
day praying and pondering and deciding what we, as individuals, can
bring to this conversation that will help heal our national soul.
In the Spirit,
Jane
