Musing..
"All things bright.." seem to be in such stark contrast to the scene of Muktar Jalloh spreadeagled on hot earth screaming, blood springing forth ( sorry to be so gruesome
), " Chop my left hand.. my right hand is my future.."Wrapping my mind around last Sunday's Sermon about how God wants us to prosper financially as well ( Pastor was not endorsing the prosperity gospel) and at the same time reflecting on the believers in Kenya's slum church praying for food left me with a sense of unease. Our causal generalizations about God and how HE works is often off tangent with global realities.
But the earth is the Lord's and the fullness thereof. So Lord my prayer for myself and classmates tonight is:
Help us draw near to YOU -- to listen, to learn and to act upon what you teach us so we can be what you created us to be. Amen.
