What is asked of ;you?

Dear Friends,
 
In extreme times, extreme things are asked of us.  Some have become whistleblowers, at great cost to their careers, finances, and peace of mind.  Others have thrown themselves into the political process, giving generously of their time and attention.
 
Looming on the horizon are a financial crisis, repressive laws within the US, a draft to fight the endless war on "terror", and even, perhaps, nuclear war.  As the times grow more extreme, more sacrifices will be demanded of us.  If we are to bequeath a viable planet to our descendants, we must devote ourselves entirely to survival.
 
God will guide us, and tell each of us what we are to do.  If we each accept the task given to us, as Mary accepted her pregnancy with Jesus, we have a chance. 
 
Mary said, "Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
May it be done to me according to Your word."
Then the angel departed from her.
Luke 1: 38
 
In the name of the Prince of Peace,
 
Carol Wolman
