A WINTER PRAYER Father, sometimes it seems wrong to throw my fears and complaints your way; as if I’m sinning. There is so much injustice and suffering in the world, and here I can’t seem to go but a few days without the comforts of electricity and running water and I feel like my wholeContinueContinue reading “A prayer for all those experiencing hardship because of the terrible winter storm:”

How do we respond? Physics tells us that every action has an equal and opposite reaction.  I believe that, more than ever.  Just consider our nation over the past 10 months or more.  Rioting, looting, murder in the streets… we’ve gotten so used to hearing about it that we often just tune it out.  ItContinueContinue reading “Violence in the Capitol”
