Raw Materials:
Struggling with laws is the theme for today. The state is scheduled to execute Steve Henley tonight, the first execution in TN since May 2007, I believe. The Supreme Court and Gov. Bredesen have refused to intervene. I joined our local TCASK chapter (Tennessee Coalition to Abolish State Killing) for a vigil outside of of the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception on Central Avenue. It was cold for a Memphis night, but we pray that peace will come for the families of those who were killed and the one who will be killed tonight.
Faith Brewed:
There is law, then there is justice. The law is the state's; justice belongs to God. If we believe the law is always just, then we are putting our faith in idols. God's justice is deeper and more powerful than our struggling structures.
Today's brew:
PG Tips - Classic English black tea. Great for cold mornings when I need something softer and more reflective than a coffee.
