JottingsLots of requests for prayer for those whose homes and workplaces have been flooded and feeling vaguely guilty at having spent most of the day in dry comfort. Had I spent the day in damp discomfort, I don't suppose anyone would have been helped. Guilt is among the least useful of emotions. It makes one feel "wrong" but rarely prompts one to do anything to change things. As a time-waster it is second to none. And wasting time, as Thomas Merton once remarked, is a sin against poverty. Worse and worse.
