In a day and age when the truth is becoming a novelty and our leaders can say what ever they want without consequences, we are indeed walking on thin ice. Those that question the message and check it for accuracy are the called fake and presented as the liar. The speed of the internet, social media propels a lie at the speed of sound. This manipulation, false messaging will eventually yield severe consequences, as we sift through the results of this rhetorical wreckage.

After a long cold snowy winter in the Northeastern part of the United States, there is nothing better than the aroma of fresh cut grass to let you know spring has arrived. This magical fragrance transforms me into a different time, memories of my youth in the yard, summer approaching, about to break free from the shackles of the classroom. Just a whiff of this grass brings loved ones long gone back to life as their memories embrace me. A bouquet of warmth, peace, love and energy. All this from a lawnmower.

As a week of celebration for an extraordinary leader and pastor, Pope Francis, the peoples Pope comes to an end, I am once again overwhelmed with the power and peace for faith. Not faith defined by a certain denomination or particular religion but just faith. When faith it truly lived and taught by those that live it, then there is not fear, well except if you are being chased by a grizzly bear. All the power of faith and love, over shadows ego and its by product fear. Faith in each other, not faith in power. As they said in the 60's,"keep the faith."
