This really makes me mad! Carl was robbed at gunpoint last week while walking to the store in his neighborhood and can't pay his rent for this month. This raises many questions; Why was he carrying around all his money? (He has no bank account and no safe place to stash it.) Why didn't he pay his rent earlier, rather than carry around the money? (He tried, but the manager was out of the office.) Why does he stay in such an unsafe and insecure place? (A form of robbery in itself.) Why would anyone do this to such a nice, weak old man? (See above.)
There are no easy answers, so I'm left with my anger and outrage and I must act. It is unfair and unhealthy, but it is a "normal" part of life in the city. Everyone down here knows someone who has been robbed, mugged, or worse. It is a constant reminder that God's love is desperately needed. LORD come quickly!
