From today’s reading...
‘You will not be unjust in administering justice. You will neither be partial to the poor nor overawed by the great, but will administer justice to your fellow-citizen justly.’" Leviticus 19:15
There’s a whole-lotta favoritism going on these days.
Today, the last thing most people need is leniency or understanding or an excuse to shout their victimhood from the rooftops.
Nah.
We’ve tried that for the last couple of generations, which is how we ended up here.
“Where is ‘here?’, you ask?
The U.S.A. is
However, we do lead the world in:
“YAY TEAM U.S.A! (Right? Ahhh…hello? Right?)”
Forty to fifty years of participation trophies, critical race theory, war on drugs, Vatican II, no-fault divorce, radical feminism, gay rights (demands), and political nepotism morphing into an oligarchy have brought us to where we are today.
More numbers for you to chew on:
So whatever we’re doing as a nation, it ain’t working. (Unless the work you want to be done is the unraveling and dismantling of our country, which is the stated goal of many organizations and groups within our borders, but I digress.)
We are no longer a just nation because we are no longer a just people.
We are more involved with and loyal to our sports teams, political parties, and celebrity fan clubs than our churches and families.
We must raise our level of expectations of everyone around us, including our politicians, law enforcement, judges, teachers, spiritual leaders, news organizations, social media companies, activists, influencers, our children, our families, and ourselves.
We must stop accepting excuses and start demanding action, accountability, and justice, or we will never...
Stay the course.
Keep the faith.
Endure.
Now go sell something.
