Sitting outside
the store
grabbing a bite
of lunch
stopping for a
few minutes, a break.
Asked where the
birthday cards are
by a regular
customer;
A card was in
her hand when she came out.
She bent down
beside me
a penny was her
quest;
But she
wordlessly put the penny
in my hand
instead.

“I will never
understand American Christianity’s
response to the
pandemic. I’m so grieved by
reckless choices
that lead to real life consequences
for the whole
community. And I wonder in the
Church’s failure
in this also grieves the heart of God.”
My reply:

if "#Jesus
wept." for the death of one friend,
Lazarus, how
much more so must #God weep for this
loss of life
from the pandemic.
John 11:35
“Jesus wept.”
