Wisdom in Difficult Times (historically and right now)
Challenging times we are certainly in, at many levels. From news item to news item, or phone call to phone call, our reactions to "bad news" can range from anger to despondency, optimism to hopelessness, denial to grief. This Sunday, while carefully attempting to avoid banal, facile, dismissive, or empty responses, we'll take a look at some examples of wisdom drawn from difficult times by some lesser known folks in the midst of attempting making a positive difference. Wisdom to draw on for wending one's way with eyes and ears open, along with one's heart.
