In this week of violence, where ten people buying groceries are murdered; where nineteen children are massacred in a school class room; where Taiwanese Christians are attacked while gathering to worship—what can we say? These events happened in only the last seven days.

In a time where we are divided and separated by politics and news—what can we say?

In a time where some of us are in personal health crisis not knowing the future or even the present—what can we say?

In this time where our private pain is so often masked by the tyranny of the urgent that we just quit sharing our inner world because the outer world is changing every single day.
