The need is great. The challenges are many. While this may reflect the place I am in, it is evident more and more every day that this is the place that countless other people are. Right now. As I write. The despair, the hopelessness in peoples lives is striking. There is an emptiness that can be seen. We rely on caffeine, routine, passionate pursuits of love and lust to rattle the feeling of hopelessness loose from our bones. The news is streaked with stories of anguish and loss. Innocence shattered. It is a struggle to make sense of the senselessness. There is a fatal flaw within humanity brought on by a long ago battle. Lost. A battle of will. A battle of control. We fight the same battle still today. Our humanity stricken with the grief of a world shaken from its foundation. Without restoration there is hopelessness. With restoration there is life. I hope for restoration. I pray for it.
