Too often we get bogged down worrying about the way "things might have been." And even though we may have good reasons to regret, at some point we must live the life before us, assuring we do not add new regrets to our history. Join Rev. Scott on a reflection on how to be gentle and kind with ourselves, no matter what mistakes we have made.
There's Honey in the Rock when we Choose to Bless the World.
Craig Mierop
John and Lauren Carlton wish to light a candle for our dear friend, Craig Mierop, who died this past weekend. Craig was kind, creative, intelligent and crazy funny. Hours and hours of conversations were shared every week about philosophy, families, world history, art and so much more. His death leaves a deep, wide hole. We hope the embrace of our good friends here helps us get through.
