Regrettably, I did not go to church today. I stayed in bed, inhaled news, and toggled between anger and sadness all morning. It's not healthy or productive. Then I watched a video shared by @amandaseales. She continues to articulate the sentiments I need to hear. She said outrage cannot not be a perpetual state, and you have to go from rage to focus to strategy. (I'm paraphrasing.) Let's all get a firm "Don't ever try to come for my joy again" and maintain our joy, be productive, and show kindness this Sunday.
