Resolutions For The Next Decade

Resolving for the New Decade
Happy 2020! This start of a new decade makes me ponder the tradition of New Year’s resolutions. Hopefully, we are all resolving to show peace to all, abolish intolerance, and offer acceptance to those who are different from us. I realize many of us have personal resolutions to enrich and better our own lives, but I think there are times when we must be resolute in our compassion to pray and work to fulfill the needs of others.
Where We’ve Been
In the latter half of the past decade, we have regressed from working to provide health care for all Americans, to legislation designed to repeal the Affordable Care Act. We’ve gone from sanctuary cities to children in cages at our southern border. We’ve gone from the establishment of affordable housing to the greatest percentage of homelessness in American history.
