Having been busy moving-in our incoming UT sophomore to her new apartment last Saturday, we instead attended Sunday evening church service.
The gospel, as expounded by our deacon (who happens to be a county constable as well), reminded us to be firm in our conviction even if it creates division & ridicule from the majority, including people we love most.
Its easy to be opinionated with moral issues until it hits closer to home & we're in conflict with our own flock.
At times of high emotions like these when we most need focus & guidance for candor in defining clear line between right & wrong, not widening the gray line, neither for our own convenience nor to calm an overwhelming opposition.
It can't be more emphasized nowadays, when there seems to be a wide blurry gray line dividing right & wrong with darker hues favoring one or the other depending on which biased info source you reference. Laws of men seems to make it even worse akin to public opinion. Legal & moral can no longer be intertwined.
