It’s Sunday morning and the faithful have gathered. Right now I’m building a little bridge between last Sunday and today. A week ago the topic for the message was atonement. Last night I saw for the first time the movie with that same name. It reminded me that we can make some bad mistakes and not get a “do over.” My little bridge that connects to this week’s message about poverty is that as a nation we can never atone (or get a do over) for our sins against the poor that are often well concealed, but came to light for a time with Hurricane Katrina.
