Simple random acts of kindness
It is scorching hot outside! I’ve been cooped up inside or escaping to my air-conditioned car to avoid the heat. It’s amazing how reliant we’ve become on air conditioning. The hot weather made me think of a heartwarming story.

Take time to ‘feed my sheep’
I could logically take this time and space to make a political stand. I personally do not believe that Jesus would, given the opportunity. He was known for saying such things as, “give to Cesar what is Cesar’s and give to God what is God’s.” We have made our Christian nationalism a new idol and have lost the actual work of Christ within ourselves and what it means to “live” as Christians in a world that is not Christian. I go back to the many times in which Jesus gave His followers tasks, duties, whatever you desire to call it. He called them, as He calls us, to live a certain way. I am reminded of His words to Peter. Jesus had just risen from the grave and was appearing to people when He appeared on the shoreline while Peter and others were fishing. Peter had denied Jesus. He failed to stand up for Him as he told Jesus he would do. So why would Jesus extend love and forgiveness?
