Lost soul needs help.

"lost soul needs help"

I saw these words this morning on the prayer list that sits in the back hallway at church. These were the only words on the page.

No name. No other requests.

I stared at the words for a long, long time. The service was about to start, and after I lingered a bit longer over the lone request, lost in my own thoughts, I went into the nave.

I prayed for that person, the lost soul that needs help. God knows that I have had lost moments in my life and I would hope that somebody was sending good thoughts my way.

After the service I went out to the little fountain courtyard and thought about things. I had to take stock and check out my own progress as a human to make sure I wasn't too lost myself.

So far so good.

I'm doing the best I can where I am at the moment. That's all anyone can do, really. The world will be alright if you try to do your best no matter where you are, or how low you are.
