Reflection
Be honest about the biases of your own personal "neighborhood". What conscious decisions have you made to exclude others based on (these or countless other factors) their identity, political or religious allegiance, or social status? In light of these admissions; how is God challenging you to be a neighbor to these and to all? Are you willing to step into the discomfort; to "go and to do" this week?
