Mirror Mirror ~ Come Out of the Woodwork

What better way to start a week but through introspection.

QUESTION: What if we all stood up together and insisted on justice, said we will accept nothing less than change, and the ability to tell our stories.

Given the prevalence of incest, and that the family is the basic unit upon which society rests, imagine what would happen if every kid currently being abused — and every adult who was abused but stayed silent — came out of the woodwork, insisted on justice, and saw that justice meted out. The very fabric of society would be torn.

Have you ever asked yourself that question?

There are virtually millions of survivors. The holocaust victims have stood up and received much notice. The victims and their families of slavery in this country have been recognized over and over again.

What about the millions and millions of victims of childhood sexual crimes. Where is the outcry for them? I just don’t see it.

God, help us change this in our lifetime. Stand up, Father, and defend the fatherless, uphold the needy and heal the brokenhearted.
