Meekness at the DMV

Meekness is a wonderful concept! But it can be hard (at least for me) to practice at certain places -- like the Department of Motor Vehicles!

In the 3rd Beatitude, Jesus declares it was the meek who would inherit the earth. Surely that would have sounded like Jesus didn't have a good grip on reality to a people ruled by Rome -- who hadn't conquered the "known world" by exercising meekness!

Gain insights into how this declaration ties into the first two "Be Happy's" (otherwise known as the Beatitudes) and learn what meekness is and what it isn't.
