I don’t know if I should point this out or not, but when Hurricane Dorian was forecast to hit Florida, a former Canadian Prime Minister, Kim Campbell, tweeted:

I’m rooting for a direct hit on Mar-a-Lago! [Mar-a-Lago is President Trump’s private resort.]

Ms Campbell apologized for her Wednesday, August 28, tweet on Friday, August 30. While no longer Prime Minister (she served a short time back in 1993), she currently is the chairperson for Canada’s Supreme Court Advisory Board.

I couldn’t help but notice that Hurricane Dorian essentially missed Florida, but it did hit northeastern Canada. World Magazine reported on Monday, September 9:

Hurricane Dorian knocked out power for hundreds of thousands of people in Nova Scotia, Canada, on Sunday. The storm hit near the city of Halifax, ripping roofs off apartment buildings, knocking over a construction crane, and uprooting trees before heading into northwestern Newfoundland and southeastern Labrador during the afternoon. The Canadian government is sending troops to the Maritimes to restore electricity, clear roadways, and evacuate residents of flooded areas.

Kim Campbell is not alone. Every day, millions of people, including believers, are posting all kinds of reckless words on social media. As I’ve written before, outrage has become a new pastime in this country.

I tell you, on the day of judgment people will give account for every careless word they speak. (Matthew 12.36, ESV)
