Midweek Thought For Meditation- 4/22/26
Hi Everyone,
We are called, this week, to live in unity and peace. The verses teach that peace begins within and must be lived out with others. When we choose unity, we become part of a greater blessing of compassion and love.
Live in harmony with everyone.
It’s no longer good enough to cry peace, we must act peace, live peace and live in peace.
Native American Religions. Shenandoah proverb

Owen's pick!
This artist, Billy Gilman, was Owen’s favorite childhood singer. He and Mattie JT Stepanek, the little boy’s voice you will hear towards the end of the song, had a great influence on his life for a long time. This is a change of pace from rap.
