Blue Sky Living

Restoring Human Dignity

Yesterday was Yom HaShoah.  I was invited to a commemoration service by my friend Dr. Luis Fleischman. He's with the Jewish Community Relations Council in Palm Beach County and carries the spirit of reconciliation for community building here and abroad.  He has inspired me with his willingness to love his neighbors whether Christian, Muslim, or other.

Living It Together

"One of the greatest gifts we can give others is ourselves. We offer consolation and comfort, especially in moments of crisis, when we say, 'Do not be afraid, I know what you are living and I am living it with you. You are not alone.' "

--Henri J. M. Nouwen

Opportunity

Opportunity favors a positive mind.

--Norman Benz, Easter Sunday service.

Save The Cheerleaders

We need more cheerleaders.  I never thought I'd say those words.  But I did.

I was talking to a friend who had just listened to a motivational preacher and she commented that he is such a cheerleader.  Then, it struck me: we need more cheerleaders, probably only a few coaches, and far fewer referees.
