I keep hearing the words, “uncertain times” , “unprecedented times”. Have we EVER had CERTAIN times???? No! We can only be certain in the here and now—to make an intention to respond certainly in love. Love is a much more powerful agent of change than hate or violence can ever be. I can be secure in placing my life in God’s hands. In Christ there is not only sufficiency but ABUNDANCE.

The perspective of being aware that something as simple as a breath connects me to every human being on earth, all plants and animals—I am more fully aware of our interconnectedness and dependence upon each other. If something as simple as a breath connects me to my neighbor, think of all the other things we have in common. A good place to start a conversation to heal division and allay fear.
