Fourth Saturday in Lent

"No testing has overtaken you that is not common to everyone. God is faithful, and he will not let you be tested beyond your strength, but with the testing he will also provide the way out so that you may be able to endure it." 1 Corinthians 10:13

Geez-o-Pete, Lord!
sometimes the stuff
that comes out of 
the mouths of folks
in the Bible just knock 
me over backwards.
i have no doubt that 
you are faithful in every
moment, but a lot of times
the folks you are hoping
will help others through 
the tough times only seem
to offer platitudes rather
than a hand to hold on to,
a harbor in the storm,
a shoulder to cry on,
a broom and dustpan
to help pick up the pieces 
of shattered hopes.
