Best Wishes For 2014!

Here’s to you, my blog readers,
Give of yourselves…
Love others (and tell them often)…
Enjoy long walks (preferably) while holding someone’s hand, nutritious food and candle-light meals, good reading, music which touches your soul, and quiet moments for reflection…
Look forward (Hope), while living in the moment (Enjoy), and not forgetting the past (Memories)…
May you have a happy, healthy and prosperous 2014!
Please have a happy (and safe) New Year’s Eve!

Risking Truth

…I intend to speak of my faith and my people as well as I can, and I will tell the truth.
One note on style: if I sometimes write here with a light hand, it is not because I am the less serious in what I say.  It is no service to the reader to load him with technical jargon to convince him that my words have weight.  I have risked being as clear and pleasant as I could, and I have worked very hard for clarity.
