When you have too many worries to deal with, and they are soaring in your brain, just rely on a thought that helps you and find a quote. I'm doing that today. Jennie is having a bad day, Mike Finnegan is having a bad day. Pasta House is closing for good. My back hurts since I slipped on an area rug. I don't know how to help Annie get through this morning and on and on. Change happens. Everywhere. I can deal with it or I can close my door, turn off the media and sit and stare out the window where I will still see change happening when my flowers bloom and wilt.
So here is something I read yesterday from Diana Butler Bass:
The whole message of the Christian scripture is based on the idea of metanoia, the change of heart that happens when we meet God face-to-face. Even a cursory knowledge of history reveals that Christianity is a religion about change. The Christian faith always changes--even when some of its adherents claim it does not."
Lord, find a way for me to travel on this road today...
