Charisma gets it: “God Loves Justice”
By Jeremy | January 31, 2008
God Loves Jutice
"Emerging Voices" column, Charisma (February 2008), by Jeremy Del RioFull article online next month.Justice is about righting the underlying wrongs that create problems in the first place.There's an immigrant i know who struggled to find his place when he was a teenager. He couldn't master the accent and local customs, and learning "ghetto" slang was like learning a third language. Worse, the neighborhood old-timers all seemed to know something about his family that he hadn't figured out. His schoolmates were especially cruel. Sometimes the mocking got to him. He wanted to retaliate, but his mom forbid it, promising that someday the rejection would make sense. At times he'd recall the refugee camp and the midnight flight from his childhood home to escape genocide. At other times he'd hear the echo of his mom's voice telling him about his birthâ€â€in a barn! No way would the other kids ever find out about that!
