I like thinking about how New York is home to people as much as Bloomington is to me, how all over the world people are busy at essentially the same things; taking care of their people and their spaces, making meals and folding clothes, rocking babies and grocery shopping. Museums and shows have their place but I love ordinary neighborhoods, seeing how people live. Thank God for the spots on the planet where life is stable and safe enough for people to live without fear of some great rack and ruin of their way of life; social, economic, political or otherwise. It happens and I can think of nothing worse than the loss of one’s home and everyday stability.
As we begin another year together, I pray you are taking care, keeping warm and finding lovely indoor things to do these days. I know the Bloomington Severe Weather Emergency Shelter is very much in need of volunteers so sign up if you can. Thanks to those of you who helped last night, some called in at the last minute. The shelter expects to be open most nights over the next four weeks as these bitter temps and more snow are predicted. I appreciate you all so much and am so glad to live, pray and serve among you.

I write a Tuesday morning devotional to members and friends of UBC. It is also posted here.
