The promise of hope

As I once again write this week's newsletter from my kitchen table I can’t help think-ing of the struggles we are facing together, but I am also feeling encouraged. While our state and nation are experienc-ing challenges never seen in my lifetime – we still have hope! As I call to check on friends and family, most are doing well in this new solitude. A quick look out my window – the tender flowers and green yard bear witness to Spring and warmer weather ahead. No less important, being Easter week-end, is our faith that we hold fast to.
