there are moments during the day when we should find a lonely place
not for too long, but long enough to speak to God in silence
our country seems to be moving toward revolution
people are angry
and for many things we should be angry
the dumpsters behind abortion clinics should make us angrier than anything else!
the abuse of immigrants for profit should make us angry
but without our anger being based in love, we are a noisy gong
when we do anything out of a self righteous rage we are a clanging cymbal
if we attack someone out of hatred or fear, we accomplish the devil's work
we must stand for truth and beauty in this time of lies and ugliness
let's stop watching tv for a while,
let's turn off the radio,
put the computer in sleep mode,
put down the newspaper,
just for a little while,
let's find a lonely place like Jesus did,
so we too can talk to the Father and see what He wants us to do
it will probably be very much along the lines of what He told and showed Jesus to do...
