Faith Matters: Got religion?

Lately, I have been remembering a sermon my friend Mike preached nearly 40 years ago. Mike had recently experienced an acute health event a heart attack. He had come through it well, had healed and was determined to use the moment of his brush with mortality to its maximum effect: he vowed to enjoy every day, every moment, to its fullest to not let a day pass unnoticed, unappreciated.
Yet much to his astonishment, just a few weeks along, the feeling was already beginning to fade. Old complaints and grumpiness were returning. No matter how much he reminded himself that his very life had been snatched from the precipice of death, he seemed, day by day, to be slipping back into old ways, old habits. He couldn’t stop himself, and he was saddened anew as he proved incapable of holding onto his awakened state.

My Turn: Dear neighbor

As way of introduction, I live just across the street from you. My family moved here in July, not because of the pandemic it was family nearby that brought us here but relocating in the midst of a pandemic has been challenging. We’ve met very few people in town; it’s hard to know anyone as we hustle, masked, doing errands and day-to-day tasks.
What we can know about others is what is on display for all to see, and so I know at least some in your household supported the re-election of President Trump. Although I did not put out a yard sign for this election, I did not vote for Mr. Trump in either 2016 or 2020.
