St. Paul & St. Andrew
"When Jesus saw the sick man lying there and knew that he had been there a long time, Jesus said to him, 'Do you want to be made well?'” - John 5:6
Friends,
Sitting at breakfast a few weeks back, our friend Cameron was telling us about the work she does as a counselor to young people. She shared that at some point she urges them to find something that gives their lives a bit of purpose, asking them, 'What's your why?'
We may not all be troubled teenagers (though there are days I feel like one), but that's a question we each need to struggle with. And walk beside our youth, especially those who will be confirmed this Sunday, as they, too, seek answers to that question.
What's your why?
K
