He said to His disciples, "Offenses will certainly
come, but woe to the one they come through!
Today I saw a girl a young girl, a beautiful girl, or maybe
she was ugly I don't know. She may have
been black, white, don't know.
My online name use to be OhMoveMe@aol.com, why because I
considered myself poetic and deep so I felt my name described my desire for my
spirit to be moved. Ok, don't laugh AOL had just started up and I wanted to be
cool.
The desire was true though, when things touched me like a
God painted sunset, or the unexpected bright smile of a stranger, my heart
seemed to grow like the Grinch and absorb all the humanity and creation that
the moment presented. I would store
these thoughts in dark times and shine them in my soul.
Well it's been dark lately, really dark. The girl she wasn't the normal light like a
rainbow. She was an intense slap you out
of your stupor of self into the rockets red glare of the state of the union.
She held a sign that said the shelters are full can you help
and OH She Moved Me. She moved me
because in a country of ups and downs and angers and fights and yelling hate
racism anti love anti faith and more anger
This ugly maybe pretty maybe black maybe white maybe a con
maybe a runaway maybe a survivor maybe an addict maybe an atheist maybe a
Muslim maybe a Christian maybe a student maybe a nobody maybe an everything...
Reminded me to love greater and shine brighter pray harder
forgive faster ... She reminded me to be human.
Her name is Shelby.
So I know this is so different from what I normally right but it is what it
is, no apologies just a request for prayers for Shelby and all non Shelby's
too.
