Help Carry The Burden

Carry each other’s burdens, and in this way you will fulfill the law of Christ. Galatians 6:2

Last night I saw a movie about courage and carrying one another’s burdens. The movie was “#42.” It was about Jackie Robinson, the first black player in major-league baseball.

Jackie Robinson stood at first base with his head down. He was thoroughly humiliated.
