Today
is January 1, 2013. I wish above all for the coming year to be a
grand adventure for each and every one—for new vistas in
understanding and action, for the turning of challenges into
multifarious accomplishments. I hope over the coming year for focused
perceptions and actions born not of myopically self-interested
calculating minds, but rather of public spirited analytical ones.
Only in this way can a predominately negative and divisive atmosphere
be redeemed by a positive beneficent one. A calculating mentality
divides and separates us while an analytical one serves to unite and join us in a circle of common pursuits. God's challenge for us today is to
distill the essence of objective reality, not bury our heads in the
sands of suffocating and blinding self-interest. Jesus showed us the
more expansive way and he is forever trustworthy and true.
