“I Hope It’s Not Somebody I Know”

Jackie Dowd, who blogs about homelessness, at “the 13th juror,”:

“A body was found this morning on the I-4 embankment in downtown Orlando and I’m wondering if it’s somebody I know.”

Oh, how I know that feeling. When there are local news stories about a body being found and the word “homeless” is mentioned, or the location is in an area that I know our homeless friends frequent, my first thought, too, is, “I hope it’s not somebody I know.”

And then, I pray that it was somebody God knows. (John 10:27-30)
