It's pictures like these that I don't like to look at. Grief that we feel when we see children suffer only intensifies once you have a child of your own. It's an atrocity gone unmentioned, that as rich industrialized countries spend Billions bailing out greed and excess, millions of children suffer and die from debilitating but preventable diseases. And, as wars wars continue to be waged across the world we need to remember the innocent children caught in the middle. Even in my own city approximately 1000 teens are homeless, addicted, and exploited.A story from my neighborhood...
The sadness and anger that wells up inside of us calls for justice. Yet, from where will this justice come from? Today we pray--Lord, how long?
