Third Saturday in Lent

"You hate those who pay 
          regard to worthless
          idols,
    but I trust in the Lord." Psalm 31:6

a glimpse there,
a selfie here, and
pretty soon we cannot
keep from staring more
at the celebrities than
noticing you in the forgotten.
a word that sounds plausible,
a sound bite which attracts,
a commercial played over
and over in our ears, and
before we know it, we are
trapped in a maze of broken
promises with no way out
rather than listening to your
whispers of hope in our souls.
