It has been another tough week in the news. Wildfires, bulling, sexual harassment, rape, gun violence, withholding of aid, nuclear anxiety... Where is the hope in this prison of fear and anxiety? Paul is in prison and he has some words that may help.
When Life is Overwhelming

Sometimes life throws too much our way. Life in Egypt was like this for the Israelites. This is part of the human condition - that which causes conflict between us. Jesus outlines a process for solving conflict in the Matthew text. First try to solve it between the two parties privately, then a small group, and finally the community through dialogue. We need dialogue today about many issues that divide us. Finally, when you get instruction to treat unresolved conflict as you would a tax collector or other outsider, remember how Jesus treated the outsider, the tax collector, and the sinner.
