Oh America now we know how it feels. So many more of us in desperate need...knowing what it feels like now ...wondering whether we’ll have enough food, wondering whether loved ones are safe. The heart of America is cracking open. Painful, but it’s good in ways. Our time to atone.

What does it mean to atone? It means to get it, face it, admit it. Where have we been heartless and reckless? Where have we been irresponsible? Where have we put money before people and planet? Seeing it, facing it & sincerely atoning, we’ll transform otherwise inevitable results

Dear God, In this moment of fear and anguish may our agony not be in vain. May the tears we cry serve to purify our hearts. May things we fear remind us, of an even greater fear that is felt by others. Lift us above the scourge that is among us by lifting us above ourselves. Amen

Praise the Lord and pass the ammo.
