We are in an awful mess, and it is not just the US. The mess is so bad we cannot fix it We can work on it around the edges, and, perhaps, made a little improvement, but we cannot solve the underlying issues. What do we do? We keep on keeping on, fixing our eyes…

Jesus came to the disciples walking on the water toward their boat. The disciples were terrified and cried out in fear. But then Peter said: “Lord if* is You, command me to come to You on the water.” And He said, “Come!” And Peter got out of the boat, and walked on the water and…

“Not my fault” is heard in endless variations. “He hit me first.” “If she hadn’t done x, I wouldn’t have…” “It wasn’t me.” “It was her fault.” “It was his fault.” “If only I had had (this resource, this experience, this teacher, these parents)…” “If the car owner had locked his car…” Blaming rather than…
