He insisted on knowing the names of the patients, not just their ailment. His passion for people re-centered his life. As we begin each new year of ministries in our faith community, I know your lives are hectic, sometimes overwhelming. Parenting is hard work. An illness threatens you or a loved one.
Time is short.
Precisely because of all these demands, I urge you to consider how to cope, and yes, discover joy, by paying attention to your spiritual life. It's no accident that God came in human form, in Jesus, to make the ultimate connection with us, with you and me. New groups are always forming, based on interest, ministry needs, and members gifts.
