health, happiness, and a gratifying sense of belonging

 Just a quick note as we prepare to finish up 2021. It’s been a rugged year in a long, difficult succession of rugged years. We don’t all agree on everything. Some of us can’t agree on anything. That’s not surprising. We each have our own unique perspective, and they’re very different perspectives. While we’re not always on the same page, nonetheless, we do share pages. In the new year, lets concentrate on the many things we share. I hope your new year brings health, happiness, and a gratifying sense of belonging. I wish each and every one of us a sense of belonging, you, me, and all God’s creatures great and small. When we all belong, there’s nothing we can’t achieve. SC

NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTION 2022

My resolution as we enter 2022 is to accept that there is evil in the world, but not dwell on it. Don’t make myself ill contemplating and lamenting it continually until it casts a shadow over all else. The light of truth is tortured, but not extinguished. Lies eventually burn themselves out. Over time, truth only burns more brightly. It’s better to raise a lamp than curse the shadows. Yes, there is darkness in the world, and great joy to be had by casting it out with the invincible light of truth.  SC
