A Different Kind of
Winter
I am using this time to stretch into new responsibilities,
Social Action Coordinator for the West Michigan Conference of the United
Methodist Women. I am reading articles
and books on the various social issues. Even
though it is a stretch, scripture comforts me, “Not
that we are adequate in ourselves to consider anything as coming from
ourselves, but our adequacy is from God, who
also made us adequate as servants of a new covenant…”
2 Corinthians 3:5-6.

God making us adequate to answer our prayer “Thy Kingdom come, ... on earth as it is in heaven”
What an adventure!
Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.
The holiday on January 19 gave us a chance to honor Dr. King's work for his work for racial justice.
In Sebring, FL, I attended a parade that honored the memory of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. and his struggle for racial justice.
I also attended the film, Selma.
Seeing the progress made in this film, and reading current news shows there is still more to do. It served as a reminder of Jesus' call to be part of bringing justice and equality to our country
and world.
