March 16:
A recent movie about Rev. Dietrich Bonhoeffer (left) showed his resistance to the Nazis in World War 2 which led to his execution. His story was much more complex than the movie indicated. His history raises an important question about the role of religion in resistance to government.

Hope is not just wishful thinking; it is a powerful force that grounds, strengthens, and connects us. It guides us through uncertainty, fuels resilience, and inspires action. Whether through faith, spirituality, or commitment to our well-being, hope empowers us to envision a better world and keep moving forward, fostering deeper understanding and unity in community.

I have thirty different versions of the song Hallelujah on a music playlist. When the song was first written and produced by Leonard Cohen, the music publisher would not even release it in the United States. Now it is the most covered song throughout the world. Its lyrics have both secular and sacred meanings. As we approach Valentines Day, I will share a little of the song’s history and its message about love, loss and life.

February 2:
Too often we hold on to regret and anger for longer than it benefits us. Other times we are so focused on the achievement of a goal that we lose sight of why and how we are doing what we do. Whether we are holding onto something from the past or a particular vision of the future, I will explore why we struggle to just let go and live in the present moment.

In his book “Stride Toward Freedom” about the Montgomery Bus Boycott, Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. shares the development of his philosophy of nonviolent resistance.
