I grew up in a traditional family setting where we would attend church every Sunday. A childhood friend named Savannah moved a crossed the street from me when I was 10 years old. We attended the same school and were in the same grade. We quickly became good friends. I of course started inviting her to attend Sunday school. One day at Sunday school, Two grownups were praising how good God has been to them. One of the adults says, “ yes He is because He died on the cross for our sins”. Savannah was walking by and says “Died!!!! Ain’t nobody told me Jesus was sick!!!!” If my eyes didn’t bulge out of my face in disbelief of what she said!!! But I couldn’t hold back the tears or the laughter. Because I couldnt understand where did Jesus being sick come from? How did she connect the two? Even the two adults tried not laughed while trying to explain to Savannah.

181 Keeping Watch
Each day she watched through her window. Watched? Perhaps an exaggeration: a monochromatic nuclear aftermath remaining of the world, blurring into a blindness--loss of contrast and depth of field. Achromatic aberrations displayed a waste-scape stratified in grays.
