By now, the dire situation in Israel is well known. My heart is breaking. Average people of faith AND no faith, average people of many different ethnic and cultural backgrounds who just want to live in peace together . . . so many people are in harm’s way.
My Christian parents taught me a foundational truth from the time I could understand words: all human beings deserve love and respect simply because they exist.
In order for humanity to survive, this and other foundational truths must be lived out with even more determination now.
Please know that, as I pray for the peace of Jerusalem, I am praying for many people, and I am so sorry that so many are in such pain now.
