A day in Rome. A 400 year old church where I lit candles and prayed for the well being of the world. Then the colosseum, Palatine Hill, and the Roman forum, ancient history reminding me that not much has changed. But it was a gorgeous day.

Back to meditating and setting my intentions for the day. I refuse to let the disaster created by the current admin in this country destroy my equilibrium. And I will continue to resist their efforts as best as I can. That takes effort and intentionality.

About to offer the invocation to begin the town council meeting. Something I’ve done in different cities I’ve lived in these 25 years of ministry.
