Mother Teresa once said "The Biggest disease today is not leprosy or tuberculosis, but rather the feeling of being unwanted, uncared for, and deserted by everybody. The greatest evil is the lack of love and charity, the terrible indifference toward one's neighbor who lives at the roadside assaulted by exploitation,
corruption,
poverty,
and disease." (multiple sources)
Where are there people in your life that you don't think it possible to love?
Casey Anthony still gets nearly 99% of the nightly news on 'Headline News.'
Regardless how we feel about her--isn't our hope that she can find a community that will love her?
The vengence that is preached by Nancy Grace doesn't seem like the right approach. What do you think about
second chances?
Healing--is it possible for her?
Healing--what does that look like for her family?
Healing--what does it look like for a nation fixated on the case?
If forgiveness in our lives comes in threes: from God, from one another, and from ourselves--does this apply to one we think unlovable?
Jacob in Genesis is certainly a bad guy--on the lam, a criminal who deceived his own brother and duped his own dad. His mom seems to give him a brown bag lunch and says 'Run for it--'
Then he's on the road for 20+ years.
I've been thinking a lot about Jacob as I listen to the ongoing Anthony saga.
If God can chase someone like Jacob and give a great purpose to his life--
maybe the same is possible
for someone
like her.
