I keep saying when will somebody do something. Politicians, religious leaders. When will "they" do "something". Meanwhile I rant and rage and fume and scroll Facebook looking for opinions I agree with mine to say Hell Yes to or opinions I disagree with to stew on or argue with or mute or unfriend.
And nothing changes. And nothing will as long as I wait for somebody to do something.
The messages I heard at the Ash Wednesday service yesterday told me to return to the Lord with all my heart, with fasting, weeping and mourning (Joel). The Book of Common Prayer invites us to observe Lent
"by self-examination and repentance;
by prayer, fasting, and self-denial; and by reading and
meditating on God's holy Word. And, to make a right beginning
of repentance, and as a mark of our mortal nature, let us now."
This is where I am headed for the next few days. I don't know where the journey will take me. I am sure that God puts too much on my heart each time this happens to be satisfied with virtual "shouts" for somebody to do something.
Amen
