Were you counting on the new year to turn things around? We all sat around on December 31, ready to say good-bye to a year that tried us in ways we did not think possible. With a collective exhale, we celebrated the dawning of a new year, filled with hope and relieved to have survived. But, we do not seem to have come as far as we had hoped. Our world is still in turmoil. There is unrest and venom being spewed as much as it was just a few short weeks ago. How quickly we forget how we want things to change. Why are we such a forgetful people? We can flip the calendar and celebrate a new year as much as we would like, but unless we make some changes, we will remain in the places we long to leave.
Peace like a river
Peace like a river
Peace like a river
