Judgment in Hill Country Texas.

I keep thinking about the flooding in Texas… and I can’t help but wonder, Is this just nature doing what it does? Or is there something deeper happening?

Texas has been a place where so many families were torn apart.

Where people were locked away not for crimes, but for being undocumented.

Mothers separated from their children. Fathers detained without justice.

And now… water washes through the same land. So fast. So violent. So unforgiving. Is it retribution? I don’t know.

But I do know this: Pain always circles back. And when a place carries the weight of cruelty and silence, eventually… something cracks.

The innocent are suffering. The guilty are quiet. And those of us watching were left with a question.

How much longer can we keep breaking each other before something bigger breaks through?

Maybe it’s not about punishment. Maybe it’s a warning. To do better. To care more.To stop acting like compassion is optional.

Some will say those people break the law, but when the water rises, “Mother Nature” it doesn’t ask who deserves it.

Humanity isn’t a privilege you earn it’s a birthright we all share. Borders, papers, status… none of that changes the fact that we bleed, break, and love the same. If we only protect some, we’ve failed all. Because the moment we decide who is worthy of safety, we stop being human ourselves. And if we don’t defend each other’s humanity who will defend ours when it’s our turn?
