No Mercy for the Heartbroken this Christmas


A United States Congressman had his family pose with guns for a Christmas picture.  He shared the picture on social media days after a deeply disturbed fifteen year old killed four schoolmates and wounded seven others.  


It is hard to see goodness or mercy in the Congressman's picture.

Those who are worn out and crushed by this mourning, let your hearts consider this:
This is the path that has existed from the time of creation and will exist forever.
Many have drunk from it and many will yet drink.
As was the first meal, so shall be the last.
May the master of comfort comfort you. 
Blessed are those who comfort the mourners. -- Jewish blessing of the Mourners

Yes, blessed are they. 

Update 2-9-22:  Rep. Massie confused correlation with causation with this:

“Over 70% of Americans who died with COVID, died on Medicare, and some people want #MedicareForAll?”

That's a surprising logic error for an MIT grad who majored in mechanical engineering.
