June 26th

"Hoping against hope," Romans 4:18a

though the poll numbers
about being able to restore
creation to better days are poor,
we hope we will be wise enough
to keep working at it.
though the expectations as
to whether we are able 
to accept others for who
they are seem to be lowering,
we hope we will never stop
standing with those who are
bullied and shamed by the world.
though we know we cannot
bank on the wealthiest of the wealthy
to be willing to share from 
their abundance, still we
will not give up hoping that
everyone, one day, will never
have to go without the very
necessities of life.
