Day 7 - Happy Friday!
The end of the first week of 30 days of gratitude. What am I grateful for today? Good friends. Last night I was able to attend a Westminster Town Hall with Steve Hahn who wrote Illiberal America and provides some hope that in this difficult time, all may not necessarily be lost. You can watch him with an interview with Gene Robinson here
The session at Westminster was recorded by MPR and will appear eventually.
Meeting two good friends at the Town Hall made for a great end of the day. Relationships are so important for staying positive in these very difficult times. And these two friends have been so kind in so many ways. I always enjoy their company, conversations, and just being in their presence that is always uplifting.
The Westminister Forum is in their 45th year and it is free. Such a wonderful opportunity to hear speakers and be engaged in thoughtful discussion for free! Mark your calendars now because Bishop Mariann Budde is coming on December 4th. She stood up to Trump in his first administration (remember when he held up a Bible upside down outside a church?) and she spoke so eloquently at his inauguration service about having mercy.
So I hope you have a very happy Friday and an even better weekend! May you spend some time with a good friend. Closing with this quote on friendship:
“A friend is one of the nicest things you can have and one of the best things you can be.” - Winnie the Pooh
