Tuesday: refugees

I am sad that the governor of Michigan is one of the governors that wants to refuse Syrian refugees into the state (legality aside).  I was especially sad he was one of the first.

Is the possibility of terrorism scary?  Yes, defiantly.  Does that mean we should refuse to help those in need?  Absolutely not.

The thought of my friends or family, especially my children, being hurt in violence is terrifying.  But God says not to fear.  He says it over and over and over again.  Jesus shows kindness to the poor and needy over and over again.

We need to welcome the refugees.
