Do you remember the frenzy?

Do you remember the frenzy?

There was an outcry when they banned cigarettes from bars in New York. The restaurant owners were certain that disaster was imminent.

And there was panic when we began to switch to LED bulbs, with concerned citizens and opportunistic politicians proclaiming that it was the end of civilization as we know it.

And when law firms started offering women partnerships…

And when seat belts were required in cars…

And when the building codes required fire exits and accessibility ramps…

And when work rules required more training and more rest for pilots and airline crews…

And when doctors were required to wash their hands before and after delivering a baby…

Change isn’t always guaranteed to work, but change often brings the frenzy.

The Holdfast

Poetry Month!

Lovely poem by George Herbert

The Holdfast
George Herbert

I threatened to observe the strict decree
             Of my deare God with all my power & might.
             But I was told by one, it could not be;
Yet I might trust in God to be my light.

Then will I trust, said I, in him alone.
             Nay, ev’n to trust in him, was also his:
             We must confesse that nothing is our own.
Then I confesse that he my succour is:

But to have nought is ours, not to confesse
             That we have nought. I stood amaz’d at this,
             Much troubled, till I heard a friend expresse,
That all things were more ours by being his.
             What Adam had, and forfeited for all,
             Christ keepeth now, who cannot fail or fall.
