“And it may even be that in the end all problems are spiritual problems.” That is from Cormac McCarthy’s latest novel called Stella Maris.

Does that mean that your hangnail has ultimate meaning? Maybe. Because you have to deal with that hangnail. And how you deal with that hangnail will reveal something about how you deal with life itself. And dealing with life itself has everything to do with how you see yourself, other people, the world, existence, and the question of God.

“Do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewal of your mind….” (Romans 12:2)

“Direct us, O Lord, in all our doings with thy most gracious favor, and further us with thy continual help; that in all ourworks begun, continued, and ended in thee, we may glorify thy holy Name, and finally, by thy mercy, obtain everlastinglife; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.” (For Guidance – BCP)
