As a broken world drives by

My office has a prime view of humanity in downtown Lexington. I watch cars of all shapes and sizes drive by with people of all different shapes and sizes in them. Today two of these cars met in the middle of the intersection with a resounding crash.

To add to the scene of chaos and confusion, another car pulls into our parking lot with lots of steam/smoke pouring out from the hood. The couple methodically pulls out a jug of water... They've obviously done this before.

The survey of a hurt and broken world is even more real and more close to home when people you know are losing their jobs and their well being. The struggles and questions of where the next meal are continually real questions asked.

No one is too far removed from the threat of poverty or "security". It could all come crashing down in an instant.

How then can we wipe away our fears? How can we then still our hearts?
"The LORD will fight for you; you need only to be still." -Exodus 14:14
