Stewards of our community and for one another

I woke up this morning relaxed and feeling my basic needs had been met.  Showered, dressed, drank water, and had some food.  My wife was already gone for the morning to celebrate one of her best friends.  Her friend had recently had a birthday. The home was quiet.  The way I love it.  I can breathe and process freely without interruptions.  Due to the stillness of our home, I became aware of random shouting outside near our apartment complex.  I chose not to react at first, and to let it go.  The noise continued to persist.  I preceded to look out the window and crack it open to listen.  I saw a middle aged African American woman yelling and pacing back an forth on the sidewalk.  The first thing I noticed was she was without socks and shoes.  That concerned me the most.  I knew it was not warm outside based on yesterdays weather forecast.  She was wearing all black and a black coat.  She didn't appear to be yelling at anyone in particular, but it was clear by her body language
