I spent the evening meeting with older residents to listen to their stories about how things are going right now. One 81-year-old woman told me she has stopped going to church because she cant afford the offering. Gas, water, food, prescriptions, heat, and taxes have all gone up but shes on a fixed income and doesnt have anything left over. That is not how the economy should work (and its also not how church should work). My heart aches for people who are hurting right now and there are many. These our neighbors, our friends, and family members. I didnt have a good answer for her but I wanted to share her story because I know there are many others like her and she is worth remembering and thinking about.
