Perfection is such an unforgiving task master, let alone just passable mediocrity. Can I just have that?
And what a beautiful storm. I love it when the sky works itself all up into this dark visible basin as substantial as a Roman bath until it empties its deluge.
And while it did, one story on NPR held up hope that there are those who provide for the less fortunate while the next story on another station revealed that we just don't like and look down upon the same less fortunate with we're suppose to serve when they access that charity.
Its not charity without guilt, its charity without a purpose. To make matters worse, the priest talking about charity says people are inspired to serve because they love God and want to serve him and so to serve God you serve your fellow brothers and sisters.
Can't we just love our brothers and sisters to begin with? But maybe that's too much like perfection, too difficult so we have to settle for mediocrity by having to put Gods face on everything in order to love and respect it.
I guess then and only then the storms of charity can pour forth. Bring on those clouds.
