First Words Depending on Where Refugees Arrive
Welcome to our nation
Give us everything you have
Welcome to our nation
We need to assay all you own
Welcome to our nation
How will you contribute?
Welcome to our nation
We have to screen you first
Welcome to your nation
Let’s get you settled here

Another relevant poem from you. This topic, polarizing I must say, should be discussed with one ai, to help the refugees. Because they are victims, victims of as you have said in your piece before, an ‘unnamed campaign’. (sigh)

Sigh, yes. We can be careful, if we must, and at the same time take care. People to people, after all.

In his blog post from January 25 (http://www.davidlose.net/2016/01/epiphany-4-c-moving-beyond-mending-our-walls/?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=email&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+davidlose%2FIsqE+%28…In+the+Meantime%29), David Lose says:
“Because here’s the thing – and I know I’ve said this before – the hard thing about the God we know in Jesus is that whenever you and I draw a line [or build a wall] between who’s in and who’s out, we will find Jesus on the other side.” That struck me so hard as I read it after reading your post.

Thank you, Jeff. Yes, drawing lines is a good, if sad, metaphor. I want to show that in expressing measures (lined measures) of welcoming. Thanks for referring to David Lose’s prudent wisdom. Be well!
