Discrimination pervades without exception all corners of the the earth. Racial intolerance, religious intolerance, ethnic intolerance and intolerance to the LGBTQ community, among others, resulting in a kaleidoscope of outcomes from confrontation and violence to muted disapproval. Search your heart. Diversity strengthens society. Potters shape clay [weavers weave yarn] for a desired outcome. Our lives are shaped by the grace of God. We are as a collective of one in his plan. Live your life with passion and understanding of others, to the glory of God.

Amen.
