In Sunday’s Lectionary, “118:22 The stone that the builders rejected has become the chief cornerstone. 118:23 This is the Lord’s doing; it is marvellous in our eyes.” Jesus, the stone the builders rejected, and whose person and ways are still rejected. At times when I feel most powerless, though, I like to remember that God can do stuff too.
Meanwhile , the cornerstone of our UK free society is capitalism. So I’m glad to see today that in our village, capitalism is alive and well. The cafes and little shops are letting in young men singly and in groups with no face coverings, because if they don’t they will go out of business. That’s how things are where everyone’s anxious over their livelihood.
