Contemplative Comics day 46

My main reason for making this series of comics was as a means of practicing Contemplation + Action. There was so much going on. A horrible president. Families imprisoned and separated at the border. Open racism in the streets. Communities devastated by hurricanes.

One day, my friend and I ate lunch at the homeless shelter. We were talking around the picnic tables. An aggravated couple were sitting under the tree while their daughter played. A daughter the same size as Jules. She was so beautiful and full of energy. Living at the homeless shelter with her parents.

I went back to my office at the church. I was supposed to work on getting material ready for the worship band for the coming Sunday morning service. But everything felt so small.

I sat at my desk and wept.

I wanted my job at the church to be focused on these issues. Not music or bible studies for kids. I was beginning to suspect that was never going to happen.

This was my attempt at working these things out in prayer.
