I’m sure your heart and soul are still reeling from the events in Charlottesville last weekend, as mine are. Yes, the events that unfolded there are evidence that we suffer from a deep divide in our country. They also reveal that that divide is only getting wider and more destructive. The events in Charlottesville also reveal something even deeper and more profound and that is that we live in a fallen and broken world. Our world no longer meets the manufacturer’s original standards.
