break

it's not in me to tell the whole story tonight, but i have to get some of the thoughts out of my head so that i can cry, so that i can pray, and so that i can sleep.

a woman called the lab today. she is from greece. her father is lost at sea in the indian ocean.

she is desperate, and cannot find anyone to help her. he's been missing for 2 1/2 months.

i know that level of desperation. i know her panic as time slips away and the chances for survival go away. i know the frustration and anger and sheer insanity that she is facing. i've been there, and my heart is breaking for her.

but this post is not about me. it's a plea. a request for prayer for a woman who's name i don't even know. a request for mercy from a God that i cease to comprehend.

Father, please, have mercy.
