This post from John Pavlovitz appeared at a very good time for me, and I have a sneaking suspicion it’s a good time for you, too. Read this, friends, and be encouraged. Thank you very much, John. Larry

Why I Like John Pavlovitz
I’ve been following John Pavlovitz’s blog, “Stuff That Needs to Be Said,” for a few years, now. I’m always intrigued by what he has to say, and he says it well.
And yes, much of it does, in fact, need to be said.
John has been feeling, like most of us, the horror, grief and rage following the school shooting in Uvalde, Texas this week. While I have my own thoughts on the matter, which I’ll publish soon, I really want to share these three posts from John.
This is for the family. Love to all. Larry

A Good Way to Begin the Year
Blogger John Pavlovitz, a favorite of mine, has offered an excellent post for the start of this New Year. I would like to share it with you here, and ask you to consider pledging, along with me, to do what it says.
Happy New Year, y’all.
Vacancy
I lost my stepmother and my father-in-law earlier this year. One of my favorite bloggers, John Pavlovitz, wrote this post back in 2015, but I just read it tonight, and it spoke to me. For all of us who miss someone this holiday season, whether for the first time or the fortieth, I offer this:

Peace and comfort to you all.
