Distracting Ourselves to Death

Fellow Labourers-

Our subject today is so real that we need to stop and take stock of ourselves. On Saturday on our way from a funeral in Portland, I saw a gentleman at Constant Spring Road whom I have met casually before. Can you imagine how I felt when I saw him in Monday's Gleaner being reported as killed in his own home?

Some of us have refused to watch or listen to the news anymore, but we cannot escape from reality forever. Sooner or later reality catches up with us. Our own mortality causes us to either fear or hope. We can either be in a state of hopelessness or hopefulness. Knowing this should alert us to be more purpose driven in our daily living.

Pax Vobiscum
