Thoughts Along the Way . . .

Actor and comedian Robin Williams died this week, apparently ending his own life in the midst of an ongoing struggle with depression. I confess that I have never experienced anything that came even close to tempting me to end my own life, so I can only barely imagine what sort of inner turmoil and pain must be involved. There is a quote floating around the internet that invites us to “Be kind, for everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about.” We have the sacred opportunity to shine the light of grace and peace into the lives of those whom we encounter along the way. In this moment and every moment may we be agents of God’s love in the world.
