A Moment of Reflection
It is a beautiful fall morning here in Connecticut. The trees outside my window are all in various shades of change.
So are we.
It has been a long hard week in the world. I am tired of the constant negative election ads on radio and television. I have spent a lot of the week thinking about Foley and child sexual abuse, the war, and North Korea.
Yesterday, I read this passage from UU minister William Ellery Channing written in 1928 --
"To honor God is not to tremble before him, it is to become what we praise, to feel the divine principle within us, the very spirit of God."
Morality, including sexual morality, is all about the very way we treat each other. May we all become what we praise.
