Funerals recalled;
signs of a great love that now
has nowhere to go.
Meanwhile in Isaiah from Sunday’s Lectionary, God’s lament over a people gone wrong. Doesn’t God mourn now, for what might have been in our nations? Maybe even now, it can be fixed. I blame the schools – no ethical education; Eton is the worst. Actually most schools are good, battling heroically. Eton’s ethical education is still crap though.
It’s not good that people turn away from God. It’s worse when we turn away, claiming to be ever more Christian in doing so. Go back to Isaiah to find out the kind of thing God really wants from his people, “…he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry!”
