Reading

Challenge is the Opportunity for Greatness -- James M. Kouzes

Verse

Reverence

Reverence runs across religions

and even outside them throughout the fabric

of any community, however secular.

We may be divided from one another by our beliefs,

but never by reverence.

If you desire peace in the world, do not

pray that everyone share your beliefs.

Pray instead that all may be reverent.

 

~Paul Woodruff
