Since Oct. 7, I have been trying to understand something incomprehensible. There is a lot that has happened since that bloody date that is incomprehensible, but I don’t mean the planned slaughter of civilians and innocent children in Israel – hatred gone mad and inhumane is not completely incomprehensible, for we see it daily. The sin is “ever before us,” as the psalmist says, though writ small.
I heard a story that happened at a funeral home in this part of the country some years back. It seems they had a janitor who was a bit skittish about being around dead people.
