Let me talk about two things: 1) Certain life lessons keep repeating themselves. I guess that will keep happening until they finally sink in. Case in point – when Jay Nunley passed away last Thursday, it caught me by surprise. I knew he had been sick. I knew he was in the hospital. I kept thinking, “I need to go visit him.” I didn’t. I kept putting it off, thinking I had more time. (...) 2) I'm increasingly intrigued by by Restorative Actions. That's the group that was designated to receive the offering at the opening worship service of the 225th General Assembly. (...) I will admit I was pretty skeptical at first. The more I think about it, though, the more I think it’s the right thing to do. Or at least, it’s one way to begin to address systemic racism. I’ve haven’t done anything with this information yet, but I keep thinking that maybe this is something that we should do.
