Yesterday, a store employee was killed during the rush of consumerism called "Black Friday." I get it, I understand it; but I choose not to participate in it. What have we done that Thanksgiving now officially gives way to Black Friday? What kind of world is it where people get to the mall at 5:00 AM to face rabid crowds and "beat the rush"?
The altar of commerce has taken a human sacrifice. Probably not the first, surely not the last.
In a world that puts up a stink saying "it's time we put Christmas back into Happy Holidays" I believe the Lord would rather us put Christ back into Christmas.
