My Tuesday evenings are a little more lonely these days. Like many of you, for the last six years, I spent Tuesday evenings with the Pearson family enjoying the series "This Is Us." I marveled at how the writers pulled stories together, wondered about the cause of Jack's death, was firmly Team Toby (right up until I wasn't), and watched Rebecca slowly slip away.
(I guess I should have warned you about spoilers, but it's been six years, so that's kind of on you)
One of the elements that I loved in the series was how the title defined the family. While they might have their squabbles and outright showdowns, in the end, it was about the dynamic they shared. No matter what, they were family. This Is Us.
I see the lines of division being drawn up in our world today. I hear politicians telling us who's in and out. And I see preachers putting up walls where Jesus opened doors. We need a reminder that we dare not divide who we are. Yes, we have our differences, but at the end of the day, "This Is Us." Together, united, one in Christ.
