i just read something about grief from C.S. Lewis and his book, “A Grief Observed”

basically, when someone you love dies, it isn’t just them that you miss, but the parts of yourself that person brought out of you that can never be brought out again.

i feel that with my dad.

"Weapons are not just messengers of death: They are also the thermometer of injustice. And injustice is the wicked root of poverty. We cannot talk about weapons without talking about the deep injustice that they spawn and shore up, the privilege of the few against the many." #PopeFrancis #Hope

He so flatters himself in his mind that he knows not his guilt. In his mouth are mischief and deceit. All wisdom is gone (Psalm 36:3). #PrayForAmerica

Let’s face it: this country worships guns, not God. The first Christians totally opposed weapons because they were against God. Now God and guns? Really? It’s a new kind of blasphemy. It’s not pro-life. It’s pro-death. #PrayForAmerica

Prayers are not enough. We need action to stop gun violence in the US. After Newtown nothing. After Parkland nothing. After Uvalde nothing. The politicians are not gonna do anything as they did nothing after their own Gabby Giffords was shot in the head. This is not pro-life. It’s pro-death!

Clare’s message is clear. A relentless pursuit of material goods can stifle a heart for compassion. A life preoccupied with acquisitions leaves little space for the longing only God can fill. The things of greatest value are found in relationships.
