Overheard two people talking in the local bodega, and it occurred to me that I live in a neighborhood where either people distrust the establishment so much that they don't believe ads, or else they don't realize how bad smoking is for their health.
It also occurs to me that once upon a time in our communities of color, our faith in God was what got us through. It seems that now we've abandoned that faith in God. We have faith in the dollar, faith in basketball, even sometimes faith in each other, but faith in God?!?!? No way.
But it's inside that faith that our collective salvation can be found. I'm not talking just about salvation from our sins, but salvation for the world.
I want to write more, but have been extremely tired lately. I'm a little anemic, but it feels like something else is going on. So I'm not going to write; I'm going to bed.
