Why?

Why? 

Questions asked in the dark have a way of bringing me into light. 

Instead of fear closing in, I draw near.

Up close and personal. 

To the One who knows all.

Devotional Memoir

Someday

When Someday seems too far, the fragile heart mourns. Torn. Tender. 

Walking in the weight of sorrow. 

Sitting in the dark.

And we cry out for rocky paths made smooth. The broken place, whole. Strong winds and high waves, stilled.

Longing to affirm the true. And say we are crushed but not in despair.

Public square

The words of Isaiah resonate. 

“Justice is turned back, and righteousness stands far off.
For truth has stumbled in the public square, 
and honesty cannot enter.
Truth is missing,
and whoever turns from evil is plundered.”
Isaiah 59:14f

It sounds like a reading of our day.
