I think people show up with courage in their own way, and we don’t all have to do the same thing. I think that’s really important. Most acts of courage are small and local and very relational. So I want to just say, that is probably the fabric that holds us all together. And then every once in a while people either step into a moment of great danger or more often than not they get swept up into it. Jonathan Daniels wasn’t planning on getting killed when he was out, he was buying a coke, right? Renee Good wasn’t planning on getting killed. She was driving her kid to school, right? So you don’t choose these moments, but you find yourself in them. And that, I suspect, is the price of being alive in certain moments of history. Thank goodness they’re mostly rare.
