Our thoughts and prayers are with the Hospice of Lubbock
community on the loss of their executive director, Charley Wasson. From the Publisher

Theologian Ann Stevenson was preaching at Boston’s Trinity Church when she offered the following thoughts:
“God doesn’t want us to ask for long life, because it isn’t how long we live. It’s about how we lived while we were here. Did we
celebrate the time we had? Did we give thanks for each day we had? Did we bring joy and love and kindness and generosity into
the world and leave some of it when we left? Did we bear our cross without resentment and bitterness? It isn’t the length of life
that ennobles us, but the quality and substance of the life we make for ourselves and the life we share with others.”
