Spending a week with my father helping him adjust to a new living situation and cleaning out the house where he and my mother had lived for thirty-five years, made me think about life transitions.  Whether it’s a church seeking a new minister, or a new President, life is an endless series of changes, some welcome, some challenging.  Each cycling season (Spring is nearly here), gives us a reminder and an opportunity to start anew and to decide what we will make of ourselves and the world we share.
