Sunday Reflection: exhaustion
I think a lot of people are really tired.
There is good reason, of course. 2020 has been a hell of ride, huh? A pandemic that won't go away. An economy in the tank. A degrading and depressing political season. The death of a beloved Supreme Court justice and a lot of other admirable people. Plus, for many of us, there have been other things related and unrelated to all of this. I see terrible things happening to people around me, which make my own little hardships seem like nothing.
I find that it makes me quiet.
And maybe that is good. We see that over and over in the Bible: Jesus retreats from the others, and we see him in quiet.
Not that there is not a lot to fight for. And we all will do that. But in this moment, we probably need to be unapologetic about those moments of quiet.
