day 171


“What do you think? If a shepherd has a hundred sheep, and one of them has gone astray, does he not leave the ninety-nine on the mountains and go in search of the one that went astray?” Romans 18:12

when we whine
that you should be
paying more attention
to those of us who are
safe, privileged, healthy,
we show we are more
utilitarians
than we are
people of your name,
Jesus, who is always
searching for the lost
(because we stubbornly
refuse to look)
