Reckless Driving! Shootings!! Wars!!! WHAT'S THE ANSWER?

​   A while ago I was talking with one of our members at Resurrection after a Sunday service, as we stood in the sanctuary.  And the topic came up of reckless driving and crashes with innocent people harmed and killed.  And we were talking about how to solve this problem.  Heavier fines?  More jail time?  And I think I said something like, "But I don't know if that will really help.  So what can we do about it?!"  And the response came back without words, just a look around the sanctuary, and hands open to that space of worship and gathering of God's people at RLC.  In other words:  WE are the answer.  As God works in and through us.   As we worship and pray and respond as God's people in love and service and all that each of us can say and do.
    No, it didn't mean that that is ALL we can do.  As I just said in last Sunday's sermon:  prayer is the first thing we can do.  But it always will lead to actions.
   So let us gather for our services and meetings and fellowship at RLC.  And may it lead us to whatever we can do to help our communities and nation and world.
   As Eleanor Roosevelt said, "It is better to light a candle than curse the darkness."
   So I look forward to joining you in prayer and love and service, and so be a blessing to our community and world!  And certainly the brightest light we can share with others is the light of God our Savior, and the peace and hope that the crucified and risen Christ can bring to all!
 
God Bless,
