i lament...


people living in trailers

broken and messy people

being broken and messy

leadership that fails when needed

communities lacking a voice

work that trumps people

20 months of storm damaged lives

ears that do not listen

voices that remain unheard

leaders not rising from within

redemption that seems so slow

tears that will not flow

assistance that yields dependance

amateurs believing they have to be professionals

  1. all these provoke me, too.

    Glad you are here with us in our mess. I mean it.

  2. ....and having long lament lists.

    Good thing we have loving friends, neighbors and strangers from far away places to lean on and pray with!
