A few months (or more?) ago I received an email asking me to consider being a precinct delegate.
Can you represent the viewpoint of (those in your area)?
In my mind, I calmly replied, "No." I don't understand or agree with the opinions of a number of those in my area.
Yesterday, I was at a small market. I pointed out a large piece of meat priced at $3.55 - weighing over three pounds @ $3.99 a pound. Every piece was priced at that remarkable rate.
As the woman instructed a worker to re-price them, the worker said, "You mean someone was actually stupid enough to think that piece of meat would be priced at that rate?"
I am reminded of prevailing attitudes...which I could not represent.
And I recall: "Because of the increase of iniquity and idolatry, the love of many will grow cold."
And I think, do people realize, when they chose to angrily stand on platforms rather than on love in reaction to things they disagree, they are as "a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal"?
I think not.
