I am praying for peace and love, the understanding goes beyond praying and I am actively trying to understand more, know more- at home and abroad and certainly in the situation in Israel.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAEjbCtZiqw Israel at War: In the Beginning There Was the Word/ Rabbi Angela Buchdahl, this is an important, hard, sad, hopeful, beautiful video to watch and listen. I did so with tears nonstop and then I went to church. I needed my community of faith and my pastor's words.
I've written before on this platform about the important voice and perspective the Jewish faith has and continues to provide my life on Newark-Granivlle Road. I thank the Denison parent who reached out and asked questions about our campus' support for students during this horrific time and happening and for sending me this video.
I'm following and listening to others with Palestinian connections, my heart breaks and I struggle to understand so much. At my church, I prayed, and this morning I prayed. I pray for healing, comfort, peace, and love not just for the Middle East, but those close and feeling such deep feelings. So many things happening to those close that need God's love and comfort and ours. Wanting to be positive, there is also so much to celebrate and embrace- that was my travel for work last week and the weekend for us in our lives on Newark-Granville Road. We know how fortunate and blessed we are.
