Of all the places in the world we find ourselves, it is right here you are and I am. It is remarkable to think that at any given moment in time someone is hurting in some way while someone is happy as can be. The news of a death is usually followed by news of a birth or birthday. Life's pendulum swings at a constant and sometimes chaotic pace. The challenge is to find a middle place where the latest news however extreme will be bearable. How quickly the hour glass empties only to flip over and fill again. Life is draining and replenishing, exhausting and exhilarating. At the center of the peaks and valleys we hope to find balance and peace, reassurance, encouragement and strength to move forward ~ with blind faith and the faith of a saint.
