Earlier this month open-wheel racing lost one of its great champions when reigning Indianapolis 500 winner Dan Wheldon died in a 15-car crash at the Las Vegas Motor Speedway. Wheldon’s family, crew, and fellow drivers, along with thousands of fans, continue to mourn his passing. Grief is real and it is something that we all experience. Jesus himself knew the pain of grief. November 6 is All Saints’ Sunday, the day of the Christian calendar when we remember those who have died in the past year. LinC discusses death and mourning and how God’s grace is with us when we grieve. Key Scriptures: Matthew 5:3-12; Mark 15:33-39;Romans 8:24-28. The “Occupy” protests that began in New York City have spread throughout the nation and around the world. The Occupy movement hopes to draw attention to income inequality and the role that Wall Street played in the recent global financial crisis by people speaking out for their convictions. Next week LinC talks about our convictions as Christians and when we need to speak out for what is true and just.
