Last night, I saw the Rabbi from the synagogue in California that had yet another deadly shooting. He asked that we all do one act of kindness.

This morning I saw Dr. Ruth who at 90 has just done a documentary on her life as a survivor of the Holocaust.

Yesterday, I was at the church Joe is serving for a few months and one of the members told me that she had been to a church where the pastor asked all the congregation to go out and do something kind for 3 people being certain that one of those persons was not a Christian.

She said she did not know anyone who was not Christian.

This woman has to be in her 80’s and she said she knows NO ONE of a different faith than hers.

Some people might say that is grand;  she is surrounded by Christians.

For me, well, I shall use my word here; I am flermookled.

To think that it is even possible to make such an assertion in 2019 living in a country of 300 million within a world of 7 billion?

Is this growing world shrinking us?

Made Dr. Ruth’s answer to how she felt about these shootings really resonate with me. She said it is why she must, even at 90, keep ‘talking’;  people need to hear different ‘accents’.

Today, I hope to meet someone who SOUNDS different than me knowing THAT person will hear something different from them.

Whatever they hear, may it be kind.
