From Sunday’s Lectionary, “Then [Jesus] looked up at his disciples and said: ‘Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God….'”
I wonder what it would look like if one had a lifelong commitment to living by those words and the others in that section (like blessings for people who are hungry; or hated because of following Christ).
Meanwhile, in this world wide web of trading relationships, I wonder how serious we could be about imposing economic sanctions on Russia – we’re too addicted to fossil fuels, and the UK governing party allegedly needs donations from rich people with Russian connections too.
As with China, we all need each other – which is kind of good, but makes for a difficult and dangerous game when nations try and push the boundaries.
