“Though the world is full of suffering, it is also full of the overcoming of it.” Helen Keller

Hurricane Hellene, now California wildfires; suffering abounds in our world. When it does, there always follows a powerful witness of enduring faith. People reach out in love to others, and families endure their loss with grace. One family sang "Hallelujah" standing outside the ruins of their fire ravaged home. There are some beautiful masterpieces painted over the canvas of human suffering.

“We rejoice in our sufferings, knowing that suffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produces hope.” Conversations Within” ts 1/12/2025
