Isabel said she would have looked for a more sympathetic judge rather than going to the mean judge. Spoken like the daughter of an attorney! I believe that, if Isabel were representing the persistent widow, she would have found a more sympathetic judge. Ask your family if anything from the Gospel story reminds them of Jacob wrestling with God (Jacob, too, went the distance).
The problems facing our sisters and brothers in Haiti overwhelm us, and are enough to make us demand an explanation from God. But remember, Libby told us that the church is making a difference in Haiti. And Janie said that when we help others it is like we're helping God help them. We have the chance to represent Haiti to the world. And on Sunday, at the Outreach Carnival, we can give as generously as we're able and celebrate that we can help.
