Peeks Through Clouds

An effort to brighten darkness with gentle humor and loving truth... a desire to discern both love and truth more and more clearly when I gaze toward Glory... and a spirit-name, properly descriptive, unrequested but received, my own.

morning news blues

As I was driving to work this morning (02/05/13) I heard a news piece about India and the violent protests, trials and legislative action going on there that were triggered by that horrifying "gang rape on the bus" incident. Such cultural hurdles to overcome, not to mention the yawning pitch black hole of what Nate Saint called "the Christless night!" Disturbed, I violated my own principles (get to work first) to stop and text myself a message so I wouldn't forget my own reaction:

Sometimes when I hear the news,
my soul, my soul just screams!
Father?
Father, come and right this wrong!
The evil that pervades this world
is tromping on my dreams!
Father, hear me?
Oh, my God...
how long?
