Pray the words of this Lazaroo aloud, in humbled solemnity:

“…they began to weep aloud, and they tore their robes and sprinkled dust on their heads.”
(Job 2:12)

People don’t do much of that in my culture, Jesus.

Well…we might weep aloud now and then
but we don’t do much

robe-tearing
dust-sprinkling

…although maybe we should.

There are things in our world worthy of that level of grief:

genocide
human trafficking
abortion.

Actually…

there are things in my life that merit

crying out loud
tearing my clothes
dumping dust on my head.

Perhaps those areas
are where I’d better start.
