This week my heart has been weighed down by the events, we've witnessed since the murder of George Floyd. My heart and mind have been turned to our own experiences with the judicial system over the past 18 months. I must admit that my assumptions and naivety have been jolted into a new reality. These combined with what we've witness over the past couple weeks has caused me to ask the question, "Have we become moral monsters?" In our anger, frustration, and anger have we lost our humanity. Have we lost sight that we are all growing? We all stumble. That we all need grace.
I hear the call with for justice. But our calls for justice really have morphed into demands for punishment. When did we lose the importance and power of mercy?
I hope this episode causes serious reflection. I hope it causes you to look inward. I hope it helps you become a better man and father. If we can't be honest with ourselves, our own biases how can we ever help our children to become more?
I'd love to hear your comments.
