Why do we so quickly cry, "That's not fair"? In this episode of Voices, Christy Granda tells how a simple library fine sparks deeper reflection on human nature, selfishness, and our instinctive reactions to perceived injustice. Drawing from this weekend's readings, she explores how God's vision of justice goes far beyond our limited understanding of fairness and how Jesus models a selfless love that calls us to trust in God's greater plan.

Christy was born and raised in Bay City. She met her husband on a blind date and they worked briefly together at Dow when she was a co-op and he was a contractor. Soon after that their work paths diverged as she finished her degree in Elementary Special Education and he continued as a graphic designer. She worked as a Special Education teacher for 32 years before retiring and immediately jumped into her new role as Adult Faith Formation Coordinator. When asked about the differences between working with adults and children she might reply "so far, nobody has tried to kick, bite or scream at me." She and her husband have two adult children and have been members of Blessed Sacrament for the past 20 plus years.
