In a week where we have lost David Bowie, Alan Rickman and Dan Haggerty another person lost her husband and brother. Celine Dion has had a very tragic few days having suffered two major losses. Recently we lost Natalie Cole as well. At any rate there’s been too much loss for such a young year. 2016 isn’t going very well for many. Be grateful for what you have for as long as you have it.

Sometimes when something doesn’t affect us we tend to forget it is real for others.

Rambling About Suffering
The thing about suffering is it gives you experience that can help others get through their own suffering. It’s a part of our shared humanity. Pain informs you who you are and tells others how you deal with what life throws at you. From a faith perspective its important to know its intentional. No matter what rely upon others to help you get through pain and suffering you are going through. It’s what we are all here for.

A Personal Note About The Episcopal Church
For those who don’t know a lot about The Episcopal Church and how we worship its scriptural, sacred and Holy. We celebrate the Eucharist/communion during every Mass/Worship. From the music to the message everything points to Jesus. Our services help us to encounter Christ in ancient practices that has stood the test of time. I am blessed to be a part of the parish of St. Peter’s here in Chattanooga where I am finding faith, hope and love in community. It is also cool to be part of the global Anglican community. A couple of years ago I took one of those online quizzes that the Episcopal church would be a good fit for me and now that I am one it makes a lot of sense now. The Episcopal church is welcoming of everyone and encourages me to think and feel equally. I am grateful to God for leading me (and Laura) there.
Make Best Use Of The Time You Have
Life is a challenge for so many people. Many cope with things that keep them from enjoying life to its fullest. Whether it be physical or emotional issues everyone is impaired from getting out there and making the most of it. It hurts me when people in my life for one reason or another aren’t doing things to use the time they have on this Earth. Our lives are as long as we are given time to live them so we have to do what we can to love, laugh, grow and to have others in them. So work on making the best use of the time you have from birth to the time you leave our planet for your eternal destination.
