We can do better than the pecking order of cattle. We can do better because God calls us not to be leaders but servants, not to be winners but witnesses, not to be takers but givers, not to be exploiters but care-givers.

While angels weep for Sandy Hook, God and the rest of heaven has already embraced heaven's newest souls. When the little ones reached heaven, they found God waiting, having raced to greet them.

We cannot adequately explain the hardest moments of our lives. We cannot soothe all the sorrows that regularly beset us, or the sorrows of those whom God has placed around us. We cannot wave a magic wand and fix the distresses we see besieging those we love, those we work with, those we know. In our hardest moments, our best efforts are feeble...our best words are hollow.

In a work world that values efficiency and action, that places great emphasis on busyness and productivity, that wrestles to squeeze the most out of every action, one of the byproducts is often loneliness. It's a disease as prevalent in the senior reaches of a firm as it is in the bowels of the operation.

What goes on inside that (detox) facility is terrible and difficult and smelly and terrifying to outsiders, but it's a battle for souls that matter. Too often, though, the battles won inside those walls are lost by what's happening outside, among friends and family and coworkers and employers and church members.

"Survival of the fittest" may be an earthly principle resulting from sin's introduction into a fallen world, but it doesn't fit into God's economy.

Jesus never tells us we can't race to the top; never tells us that a job half-done is good enough; never tells us that gathering wealth or working hard are bad things. BUT......

Solomon learned long ago that wealth doesn't matter without God. Or pleasure, either. But he was puzzled to discover that wisdom and work ALSO didn't matter without God.
