The groundswell of neighborly compassion we witness today in response to the coronavirus crisis, as well as the apparent end to the presidential primary season, has me thinking about an experience from a few short weeks ago.

On the left side of the bumper of the car in front of us was a sticker supporting a 2020 presidential candidate. On the other side, a sticker with a matching background said, “Hate Rich People.” It was Sunday morning, and my wife Dot and I were on the way to church in our small town. Given the time of day and the way the family with small children was dressed in the car ahead of us, they likely were too.
