For your consideration…..
Normally I smile at synchronicity but not today.
Our message this morning was exactly this, “Two wrongs don’t make it right.”
I wondered, haven’t we had this message before? The answer, “Yes, but stress that using the excuse that others do it over and over as justification gradually leads to acceptance. And that is a very slippery slope for society.
I thought to myself, “Hmmm what is this about? Is it the Hillary Clinton thing? Certainly, we don’t want others thinking it is ok to be “excessively careless” with our country’s secrets. I thought about a man I worked with that took kickbacks and instead of being embarrassed at being caught he said, “Chris, you just don’t understand how business is really done.” I was thinking about other examples I could use from trivial to major. Then I turned on the TV and saw the news.
Enough said, I will just repeat the message.
“Two wrongs don’t make it right. Using the excuse that others do it over and over as justification gradually leads to acceptance. And that is a very slippery slope for society.“
That is the HOPE. And so it is.
Bit by bit, piece by piece, HOPE by HOPE action steps anyone can take…..
-Meditate/pray…ask…”What is my next step for my highest good and the highest good of all?”
-Drink lots of water.
-Get outdoors and take in at least 10 deep breaths.
-Do the right thing. Support the right thing. Forget politically correct.
What made me smile yesterday….
-My sister, Rod. Riley and Aiden came for a visit.
-Oh my, “Lets go to the museum. It’s too hot to do anything outdoors.” I said. The museum was great but it was NOT air-conditioned. Yikes.
-Finally, RAIN. A great storm complete with beautiful lightning and thunder.
-Aiden and Riley’s concern when they heard our dog whining during it. They came down and took him upstairs with them. Aiden laid with him to try to reassure him.
Love, Blessings and Gratitude,
Rev. Chris
