Swift to Love
A week ago evil wrecked havoc and murderous fury on innocent people at a music festival in Las Vegas. A human killed more than 50 other humans, and wounded some 400 plus others. An American killing other Americans. Evil killing innocence without mercy. Those lives effected will NEVER be the same. And for us that …

Be A Helper
“When I was a boy and I would see scary things in the news, my mother would say to me, "Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.” ― Fred Rogers Simple and straightforward.

“…Deliver Us From Evil…”

In the chaotic aftermath of the events there, people trying to save lives, people trying to find loved ones, people trying to make sense of the senseless, the cause is known: evil.

Peace Prayer of Saint Francis
Lord, make me an instrument of your peace. Where there is hatred, let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy. Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to …
Cancer
A good friend has cancer. It's pretty damn serious. He's had several rounds of radiation. He just started chemo (again). They can't seem to kill it. Those treatment regimes are crushing him. He might not last the year. His family is doing all they can to support him and stay positive. An old family friend …
