2023 year end review

Listening to the end of your recent podcast paid off in the most serendipitous way. A dear friend and I were speaking about our desire for peace and love for all caught in the current crisis. Much stronger words are warranted, but I choose these today.

The words of Fr David Neuhaus were extremely helpful that as a Christian and an American there is a third option. Living as Jesus, in the TENSION it does feel as if it ripping me apart at times. Yet, I want to be honest about the atrocities being reported.

Thanks for the brief mention of these episodes in your year end review. They have given me perspective and courage during an extremely trying time.
