Once you were not a people, but now ...

Morning: Psalms 146, 147; Isaiah 43:8-13; I Peter 2:2-10

Evening: Psalms 111, 112, 113; John 14:1-7

Peter points out one significant change for individuals who find faith ... they become a people, through solidarity of experience and purpose, compassion and love. If persons of faith offer anything to this fragmented world, it is their being united in common cause for the common good. Mona and I received many compassionate messages yesterday about the loss of our dear pet dog. Others understand loss. Commonality of experience leads to mutual understanding. May we find deep compassion for one another in myriad such ways. Then, as one people, let us build up both one another and the wider community.
