I am so frustrated this morning. Frustrated about what happened in Orlando. Frustrated about the ISIS connection. Frustrated about our countries reaction. Frustrated as to who gets blamed. Frustrated about how to react appropriately to this nonsense!
Today, I continue to try to tie myself back to the words of the Christ and his second greatest commandment – “Love others as yourself”. I think the best reaction followers of the Christ have is to continue to impact those you come in contact with, regardless of beliefs and lifestyles, in a positive way by loving them as you love yourself.
I don’t know that this takes away my disappointment and frustration, but at least it provides a focus and a mission as well as a control to deal with the tension and strangeness of our current political and cultural environment.
Besides, everything hangs on it!
