A mid-week message from the Pastor:
A group of nuns was having a discussion about how you can be “always joyful” when there is so much sorrow in life. One in the group offered this: “We can experience both joy and sorrow, even at the same time, for joy and sorrow are not opposites. It is not joy and sorrow, but their opposites, that cause damage- for the opposite of joy is cynicism and the opposite of sorrow is callousness. Cynicism is rooted in the assumption that everyone is always in control. Callousness is the inability to feel that follows from the fear of losing control.”
Have a blessed week,
Pastor John
