Fourth Thursday in Lent

“When it grew late, his disciples came to him and said, ‘This is a deserted place, and the hour is now very late; send them away so that they may go into the surrounding country and villages and buy something for themselves to eat.’ But he answered them, ‘You give them something to eat.’"

Mark 6:35-37

when folks live in food deserts,
we barely notice them.
when the forgotten come
looking for a family,
we push them away.
when folks struggle
to pay their bills, we
hand them bootstraps
to pull themselves up with

and you
just shake your head
