Happy New Year!

What lies before us and what lies behind us
Are small matters compared to what lies within us.
And when we bring what is within out into the world,
Miracles happen -- Henry David Thoreau

No more resolutions, people! Everyone makes them, but nobody keeps them. Instead, let us take Thoreau’s advice and try each day to shine the light that is within us outward. No more regretting what happened in the past. No more worrying and fretting about the future. Let us live fully in this present moment and trust that God will use LGBT people of faith to bring about justice and compassion and healing in the New Year. Sounds like a good plan to me!
