The Gospel of Matthew 9: 9-13

MERCY, ME

In our current culture, mercy is not something that is valued, as shown by the preponderance of "mandatory minimum sentences" which can prevent judges from expressing what some may think is "too much" mercy or leniency. We don't want to see anybody "get away with" anything. And yet we are all in need of mercy. There's not one among us who hasn't done something stupid that could have ended very badly for us or someone else, yet we "got away with it." The recognition of how close we came to disaster can be a sobering lesson that makes us a little less foolish.

Given this, why is it so hard to be merciful
to others? None of us can know the stresses that those around us are under. So many have daunting health, financial or family problems. I pray to remember that each person is a beloved of God who needs my compassion and mercy.

#BLACKLIVESMATTER

Sunday we were honored to hear the story of Ernest Skelton & Caroline Crockett Brock about how we can change our country - one town at a time.

Caroline posted: I am a 45 year old white woman living in Myrtle Beach and today was the first time I spoke frankly about racism with a black man.

When Ernest Skelton, my appliance repairman, came to the front door, I welcomed him in. As this was his second visit and we’d established a friendly rapport, I asked him how he was feeling in the current national climate. When Ernest realized I wanted to know about his experience with racism (not corona virus), he began answering my questions.
What’s it like for you on a day-to-day basis as a black man? Do cops ever give you any trouble? The answers were illuminating...... Read more here
