Simple Sign: Three Profound Words

We pass a certain home of an acquaintance on our way to and from Church. He usually has a printed sign at the entrance to his driveway. We noticed a new one on Sunday. It is something many people are saying and many more are thinking. It is indeed a sad one and unfortunately valid at this moment in our country’s history.

Everything we have grown to love in the USA is being attacked and not only here but in the western world and other places. Good is bad and bad is good. “Don’t say this and don’t write that. Freedom is the name they give it but it is the opposite. The weather reflects the time we live in and terror seeks to stifle all that is good.

I had to write this down and hope no one cancels it in this cancel culture as they say. I am reading a book about Pope John Paul the Great and can’t help but cling to His words said so often beginning with his inauguration as Pope. Do not be afraid! And now to the sign: Stop the insanity! and add the words of JP 2 echoing those said some 2000 years ago during a raging storm on the Sea of Galilee. And the insanity of the storm ceased and the sea was calm. An ever present help in troubled times.
