Help Make a Difference!
I’ve reached somewhat of a milestone with this newsletter. I have published over 50 articles in the past year plus. Where the focus has been on pursuing TRUTH, many of them have addressed related topics that have helped me to focus on some important aspects of life. The overarching point is that I have been trying to find a certain level of meaning in the world when everything appears to be coming off its wheels.
What do I mean by this? My life has changed drastically over the past five years. I went from being engaged with meaningful projects each day to searching for things to occupy my day. I went from having a level of significance to wondering if I even matter. The TRUTH Newsletter has helped me to seek meaning and inspiration from what I am encountering.
We hear daily about all that is wrong in the world, all the problems and crises that are impacting our lives. I have been affected by rising prices, shortages, and concerns for the future, but they have not limited much of what I want to do. We have traveled to more places, eaten out more often, and have more friends than at any other time of our life. Yes, we have been anxious about our family, worried about our health, and are concerned about, and prayed for many people but we get up each day with a new hope and optimism. But the TRUTH is that the past is the past! We need to learn from it what we can and put it behind us.

Now what about the future? It does seem, at times, that there is little an individual can do, the challenges of the world are just too great. This may be true, but there is always something that can be done. Write a letter; write several. Call an elected official and let them know what you think about the job they are doing. Run for office or get appointed to a commission, advisory board, or community task force or committee. Write a blog and publish it, even if you are not sure anyone is reading it. You never know who you may touch or if your thoughts just might help make a slight difference.
I don’t know what to expect tomorrow. Each day has its challenges and opportunities. What I do know is that I must do the absolute best I can each day to help make a difference!
