Thirteenth Sunday after Pentecost August 22, 2021 Faith, Okemos Joshua 24:1-2a, 14-18, Psalm 34:15-22, Ephesians 6:10-20, John 6:56-69   The Lord is near to the brokenhearted and saves those whose spirits are crushed.                                                                                                             Psalm 34:18 Who of us who has seen this week the pictures of those on the tarmac, some even clinging to a departing plane at the airport in Kabul, who of us has not felt the great anguish of those desperate to flee their Afghan homeland?  Who of us who witnessed the tears of the Haitian people following the devastating earthquake compounded by torrents of rain from tropical storm Grace, who of us has not wondered how it could be any worse for a country still scarred by the earthquake of 2010 in which thousands died and by the recent assassination of its president?  And who of us who week after week see the grieving faces of those whose homes and even whole towns have been reduced to ashes
