Proof that mixing emesis, enuresis, encopresis, and snot turns orange

Now is not the time to be certain, because announcing certainties simply stokes up scapeboating. It is far, far better to just pray, love, and care for those who grieve.

The plain fact is simply that we don't know until the conclusion of an adult, responsible and rational investigation is made, which will probably reveal a complex of deficiencies, mistakes, and just chaos.

Perhaps it is pilot error, but we don't know. Perhaps it is a deficiency in the Army's flight planning, but we don't know. Perhaps it was a lack of proper air traffic control, but we don't know.

Can we not just grieve for now and pray? There was no intended malice here (as opposed to a mass shooting). This was a chaotic accident with many causalities.

And Beth Moore is a wonderful, brave Christian, who doesn't deserve this treatment. What she and others, like Nancy French, have gone through is nothing short of persecution "for My Name's sake."

Be that as it may, to dismiss empathy and suggest that it may be "toxic" is contrary to the New Testament ethic, and violates everything that Jesus call us to do and everything He transforms us to become.

Yes, empathy can take you into politically unpopular actions -- like protecting, loving, serving, and advocating for the wrong sort of people.
