Some times are all about choices

Others seem all about fate

The first are fights in the present

The second are struggles through wait

I still have a lot on my mind, and at the same time my mind is so unfocused that it feels empty in its lack of direction. No one issue seems to hold center stage for long.

In times like these, even my prayers can lack focus. But I have found one thing to pray when the spiral begins:

Lord Jesus Christ

Have mercy on us

Amen.
