I need a little “church” today. I need to be reminded —- that in the midst of all the sadness and pain in our world … yes, kindness and love do make a difference. I need to be reminded —- yes, there is a “heaven.” Where kids whose journey has been cut short … yes: where kids become angels, and their spirit and innocence will forever be in our hearts. I think of your words, Lord, in the 1st lesson we will read in church today: “the command I give you is not too difficult or beyond your reach. It’s not up in the sky or on the other side of the ocean. It is inside of you. It’s in the choices you make. So: CHOOSE LIFE.” Everyday —— we are called “to choose life.” To see your spirit in life’s ordinary moments and in ordinary people. To do whatever we can to make our “little corner of the kingdom” a bit better, because we choose to make a difference. From the courage of those in Kerrville Texas … to the nurse’s aide caring for someone we love: I need some “church” … reminding me that you walk with us everyday. Love and peace to all — Don
