Benediction

Some days we need a benediction.

Proclaiming who He is and what He does.

Anchoring hearts.

Stabilizing steps.

Resting weary souls.

Yes, some days we need a benediction.

Still

In the bare bones
of a waking day, 
I sit.

Still. 

War and rumors of war advancing.
Overtaking.

Still. With the Word and prayer.

Cry out

This past week, I sit numb. Shaken. Shocked by sheer brutality.

And cry out for the ones who can’t breathe. 

Weep for those with necks slammed against asphalt under the knee of racism. Relentless, insidious racism. Again and again.

The snake slithers. Just beneath the surface of society. Often hidden in the dark. Feeding pride and arrogance. Fear. Prejudice. 

Injustice.
