If you can imagine a hopeless situation, you’ll see this clearly…
Remember three weeks after i got my driver’s license in 1975? i lost control of our humongous family station wagon on a two-lane country road on a trick-or-treat night.
Looking up and seeing oncoming headlights directly in front of me because i had drifted into the wrong lane (because i was distracted by my two high school classmates riding with me) caused me to panic, overreact with the power-steering, run off the road, hit a culvert – simultaneously hitting the gas instead of the brake – and came to a smashing halt after plowing into a farmhouse porch and front wall. A family sat on the other side eating dinner. Can you imagine their disbelief with the impact’s noise and damage?
Can you imagine if i had hit and killed not one, but multiple trick-or-treaters?
And what if i hadn’t had time to swerve out of the way and caused a head-on collision? Would there have been fatalities, including my own?
What if i didn’t die, but others did. How would i ever reconcile my life?
How would i ever shed the guilt and personal torture?
Only Jesus.
And that is why Jesus should be your best friend.

At 8:45AM Mass yesterday, Chapin and i sat a few rows back from the front and center. We normally sit in the last row, far left.
Five minutes before Mass began, the lights dimmed with no announcement and a five-minute Marriage video began playing on the large wall.
The church marriage video only captured same-sex marriages.
Afterward, i leaned over and whispered to Chapin, “There were only same-sex couples.”
Can you imagine Jesus telling two people (of any combination) who love each other they shouldn’t spend their lives together in an official (commitment) union?
Seriously.
Can you?

Obviously spending 7 minutes to watch a video is well beyond anyone’s bandwidth. Yet it could be the only time you spend in spiritual retrospection today (or this week).
Jesus.
What a beautiful, wonderful name.
