Middle East Crisis
I'm an eternal optimist and believe that in time the situation in the Middle East will be resolved. I believe that saner heads will prevail. But it will take people of imagination and will to overcome the violence and come up with a new way of living together.
This afternoon I went to say goodbye to the sons of my rabbi friend who are heading for Israel -- they will serve in the Israeli army. I pray for their safety and that this situation will calm down by the time they enter the army. So they will be my link and I will pray for them and their family.
But even if we don't know anyone personally we're all connected as human beings. It may seem far off, but the consequences are near.
I've written more on this in today's edition of the Lompoc Record. If you hit the title of this post you will find yourself at the article. Read it and then come back and post a comment.
Let's also pray that good things will happen in the coming weeks! To try nothing is to let the failure of the imagination win.
