Politics aside, your story certainly highlights why the Bible tells us to care for the sojourners among us. I have friends who have had automatic weapons waved at them by guards who were just doing their job. We’re all vulnerable at some point these days. The elderly lady in the store whose food stamp card was declined, the driver pulled over seemingly for “driving while black.” Thanks for reminding us of the need to just be more human to each other.

Thanks for being a thoughtful reader, Dave.
White privilege often translates into a lack of compassion for those without it...thank you for sharing your experience.
