I am sick and tired.

For over 30 years I have advocated for the prisoners in this country. I have advocated for prison minstries ever since I accepted Jesus Christ. I have advocated for the 2nd Chance Act, for jobs programs, for education. I have encouraged others and my church to get involved in prison minsitries, but after this morning's reading of the paper I have to tell you, I am tired. I am tired of reading about one more child slain in the street, one more honor roll student who won't be attending school because he was killed in cold blood, I am tired of my neighbors being burglarized and the church which owns the building merely saying "to bad, so sad", I'm not advocating anymore for mercy unless justice comes first...
