January 2021
Like many of you, I was truly frightened by the scenes in our nation’s capital yesterday. Didn’t want to watch, but couldn’t look away. It is so easy for us to take for granted our way of life in these United States, and to believe – as we witness insurrections in other places around the world -- that our democracy is safe from harm. There is so much that is good about us as a people and a nation. The violence in Washington yesterday -- the destruction of the people’s house of governance, the death of a citizen – is a reminder, however, that no system of government is safe from those who would destroy it. And the destruction will come from us, from within, not from our distant enemies. My prayer is that these remaining days of Christmas will continue to bring light to our hearts, to our nation and to our world.
In Christ,
