"Suspicion often creates what it suspects." - C.S. Lewis (Screwtape Letters)
Beware how easily we can develop false narratives about people based on assumptions or misinformation.
Twice this week our parliament has tried to alleviate burdens — at the beginning and end of life.
But we’re not meant to eliminate burdens, we’re meant to carry them:
Just weeks ago, the pastor of Covenant Presbyterian (and father of one of the children killed yesterday) preached on Jesus as Death’s Conqueror, even as He wept before the tomb of Lazarus.
Pray for this family and for this church. God, be near.
This makes sense of a lot of the movement I’ve seen in various traditions, churches and people, including me. Wise words from @scott_redd

I have Stage IV pancreatic cancer. But it is endlessly comforting to have a God who is both infinitely more wise and more loving than I am. He has plenty of good reasons for everything he does and allows that I cannot know, and therein is my hope and strength.
