When Your City Becomes a Hashtag

7/10/2016

A video of Dr. Martin Luther King speaking of turbulent times opens up the sermon;
Your preacher switches up the service to allow members to talk;
A member asks "why do they hate us";
Another member says she can't sleep thinking about those officers;
Another member admits they're scared for the lives of their sons;
Your church members who are police officers weep as they are covered in prayer;
The higher the praise flows, the more the tissues are passed;
Your husband breaks down while praying and is comforted by a veteran;
A lesson on forgiveness precedes the communion service;
You tightly squeeze a young man who favors your nephew;
Your sons ask why you're crying.....
But you can't answer because your city is a hashtag.

    Who's Shay?

    Picture
    Shay is a married, working mother of three boys whose interests range from politics to sports to cupcake tasting to classic television. She's seen every episode of "Friends" and "A Different World" and searches for "Law & Order" whenever she has the remote. Insightful and perplexed, Shay writes when her heart is full. Some are based on her Christian faith; others on her whimsical observations of life. The power of the pen gives her peace keeping her grounded in a challenging, overwhelming yet fulfilling world. All writings have copyright protection. Writings from a previous blog are being combined into this one.
