So today is slushy–we’ve been getting a mixture of snow and rain. Not my favorite weather.
There’s a lot about the entire world that I don’t like. There are a lot of things that don’t seem to work correctly. Things much bigger than the weather. We all have those things.
From the BCP:
What is the Christian Hope?
The Christian hope is to live with confidence in newness and fullness of life, and to await the coming of Christ in glory, and the completion of God’s purpose for the world. (page 862)

These are the days…Days when wars will rage
When illnesses come
When families are torn apart
These days are nowDays of pain and sorrow
Days when tears roll down cheeks
And sobs consume our breath
These days are nowDays when joy seems to pale
As we peer around defenses
Erected in metal and mind
These days are nowThese are the days
When our lives are not as we would choose
When the world seems cold and cruel
These days are nowThe days are surely coming,
Says the Lord, the Holy One,
When will justice will roll like a river
And the Wise King will reign with
Righteousness will never to fail,In those days that are coming.
