Good morning! It is 26 August 2022, a Friday morning, and the sun has yet to break across my eastern horizon.
I was thinking about some song lyrics this morning…
“Sometimes in our lives
We all have pain
We all have sorrow
But if we are wise
We know that there’s
Always tomorrow”
We all have times when we need to lean on friends, lean on family. We get by with a little help from our friends. He ain’t heavy, he’s my brother. Trouble me.
The other day, a bill was signed into law that gives some of my fellow Americans with student loan debt some relief. Some other countries on earth don’t have to worry about this because they provide free education for those pursuing college degrees. Others start training people for trades while they are still very young.
Right now a number of folks aren’t really happy about debt others have accumulated being transferred to others. It’s been surprising how many of those same people applied for and accepted loans from the federal government to keep their businesses afloat during the pandemic – loans that have now been forgiven.
The part that a lot of these folks are overlooking is their own profession of faith. A lot of folks who claim to be Christian seem to be overlooking the fact that the entire basis of the faith is the transfer of debt. He died for our sins. People recite the Lord’s Prayer every day- and one variation states, based on Matthew 6:9-13 “And forgive us our debts, as we also have forgiven our debtors.”
I’m not going to be sad or complain that some folks got some debt relief. Heck, big fossil fuel companies received funding in 2020 that costs twice what this student loan relief costs.
I hope the world is treating you better than you deserve.
Peace y’all.
