Our fast-paced and busy world often gets in the way of reflection. Without reflection, we are diminished, remaining captive to the churn.
With reflection, we grow in wisdom, faith and Christlikeness, and we break free from the chaos of this world.
We need to reflect to see and understand how far we’ve come and how far we have left to go. Today is a day for reflection on racial justice.
Looking back on a year
George Floyd died one year ago today.
“George Floyd died” is an oversimplified description of what happened, but it’s a description we all agree on. However, if that was the sum total of what happened, Floyd’s death would not have given rise to months of unrest. Nor would a Minneapolis jury have convicted former police officer Derek Chauvin of murder and manslaughter in Floyd’s death.
