A Psalm of Lament

How long must hatred be the legacy passed from generation to generation?

How long must innocents suffer at the hands of the wicked?

How long must a nation be wounded by the abuse of its freedoms?

How long must young people feel that violence is the only way to express their frustrations?

How long must "the other" be perceived as enemy rather than received as friend?

How long must a bright future be clouded by the shadows of the past?

How long must mothers and fathers, sons and daughters, friends and neighbors... and churches grieve the senseless deaths of loved ones?

How long must people of good will, people of faith, avoid the awkward conversations and difficult decisions that shine the light of love and advance the causes of justice and righteousness?

How long, O Lord, how long?

  14. Branding on the CDG Samba is generally subtle. Instead of very large logos, these versions often use minimal text or small logo placements—sometimes just the signature Comme des Garçons text on the side, or a small heart logo (in the case of CDG Play). This gives the shoes a clean aesthetic that appeals to those who like understated style.

  20. Honestly, this hoodie exceeded expectations. The material feels premium and it layers so well with jackets or just on its own. Asaali is definitely a brand to watch — they’re doing something different from the usual fast fashion stuff.

  22. What sets Corteiz apart for me is how they’ve stayed connected to real street culture. From the pop-up events to the online mystery drops, it feels like they’re building a movement — not just selling clothes. Respect to Clint for keeping it authentic.

  23. Godspeed unique in the crowded streetwear world. I especially appreciate how it isn’t just about trends — it fosters a community around meaning, faith, and ambition. I’ve seen fans styling the same hoodie in totally different ways and sharing stories

  29. School was always complicated for Matty. He wasn’t the kind of student who thrived under rigid structure, yet he wasn’t inattentive either. Teachers described him as “bright but distracted,” a boy who could answer the most difficult question in the lesson but then forget to hand in his homework the very next day. His mind seemed to dance from one subject to another, grabbing at ideas like fireflies but rarely keeping them in a jar long enough to show the world.

  30. The brand’s color palette has become something of a signature. Soft earth tones, monochrome basics, and muted pastels dominate most collections, making layering and mixing effortless. These tones are chosen not only for their versatility but also for their timelessness, ensuring that Kroen garments remain relevant season after season. By avoiding fleeting color fads, Kroen reinforces its position as a brand that champions longevity over disposability.

  31. Because of the decorative treatments and embellishments, care and maintenance of HMDD shorts may require more attention than ordinary shorts. Washed crystals or painted surfaces may be more fragile; thus, gentle washing, cold wash cycles, inside-out laundering, and avoiding harsh abrasives or bleach might be necessary to preserve the aesthetic finish. Owners may also need to occasionally re-secure crystals or repair distressed edges as they age.

  32. “Such a moving and powerful lament. These questions echo the cries of so many hearts longing for peace, justice, and unity. Faith communities play such an important role in healing and reconciliation, and reflections like this remind us of our shared responsibility. At eclergys, we believe that ministry and worship are not just about attire but about standing for love, dignity, and compassion in the face of brokenness.”
