The challenge we’re facing in our country is about more than the actions of a few. It’s about how to transform a justice system that doesn’t work equally for all.
Black Americans are dying from COVID-19 at 2x the rate of white Americans.
This pandemic has further reinforced historical inequities in our nation—and it is clear that confronting these disparities is not a priority for this administration.
Until a white majority feels so deeply in our soul that the pain of black and brown people is our own pain, it will continue to be dangerous to be black or brown in America. #BlackLivesMatter#icantbreathe
Sometimes God asks us to step out (or through). We don’t know what we’ll see until we go through the deluge. It’s scary to step into the unknown, but it’s also where we find Jesus; and wherever we find Jesus, we find life. Fear calls out our doubts; God calls out our names.
This can be a hard time of the year. Expectations, difficult relationships, finances, travel. Be nice to the people around you, but also be kind to yourself. Get some rest. Guard your hearts. Keep your eyes fixed on Jesus. We’re standing with you as you do.
