I rode my motorcycle to work today. It’s October in Indiana, so it’s starting to get past the “cool” temperatures, and delve in to the “cold.” When you’re riding a motorcycle, you can count on the air feeling about 10-15 degrees cooler at any given time. It was 45 when I left the house this morning. I bundled up against it, but my hands were still a little stiff when I got here.
Since I couldn’t type right away, I decided to grab some coffee and hit the Apple.com Quicktime site to check out any new movie trailers that might be out. I saw some really good stuff. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has my attention. I like Brad Pitt, and I think this “Forest Gump” turn could be a good one for him.
A very good friend of mine is really into social justice. The other day he was telling me about a movie called “Call & Response.” I saw the trailer for it, so I thought I’d take a look. Do yourself two favors:
- Go and watch the trailer here.
- Listen for the last spoken line in the video.
Do those two things, and then tell me what it makes you think. I’ll be here waiting…

I am not sure what I think about the statement “Justice is what love looks like in public”. Maybe I am on a shallow kick today but I am not sure of the connection between justice and love.
As for the content of the trailer I have to say I would rather ignore it…
That way I could be ignorant of helping drive the industry that this problem feeds off of. I wouldn’t have to consider the truth of this problem…
I seem to be able to disconnect this slave trade from my daughters much the same way I do with women and porn. I objectify them because I do not know them. If I did I would have the same outrage…but they are not my daughters….
Last but not least… have I or we forgotten that there is clear scripture in regards to this and it is scripture that we should fear? Luke 17:2.
I wonder if the millstone is smaller if we just have knowledge and do nothing….
