Justice is the Fabric of a Healthy Society

When a society such as ours creates a system to punish wrong doers, to defend innocents, to correct mistakes and to restore liberties, we expect that justice will be delivered. When within a society a ministry dedicated to children and families is empowered, we expect that it will protect the vulnerable, accurately assess people, and repair broken situations.

Love is the thread .Woven from billions of such threads, justice is the resultant strong and integrated fabric. The fabric is known by the name of integrity and it can be fashioned into a garment prepared for residents of earth. It is the fabric of a healthy society.  

Injustice occurs when countless numbers of these threads are pulled from the garment. As the holes enlarge, the wearer of the garment is uncovered and vulnerable.

A work of justice becomes essential to mend the rips and tears that have occurred in the fabric of a society and its governance. The repair consists of the replacement of frayed threads. That work must begin again with love.

BELIEVE / 546

The Canucks are on the verge of celebrating a Game Seven Stanley Cup Victory.
Or, the Canucks are on the edge of the greatest disappointment in the 40 year history of this franchise.

Stay with me now. There’s a child welfare application here somewhere.

Some fans would challenge me right there. How dare I even suggest the possibility that the Canucks might lose tonight’s game. They might even revoke my fan credential and criticize my lack of faith. Please understand that I do not lack the confidence that the Canuck Team has a roster of players that can beat any other team in the league on any given day. They were the team that finished the regular season with the best win/loss record. Tops!
