[Magdalen] the day after....

[Lynn Ronkainen]

Yes! As people of faith and principal, we - in this country and in many 
other places, have shown through so many avenues that our initiatives are 
often more powerful, longer lasting and more widespread than many government 
initiatives that fail or loose sight of their goals.  The best response to 
this shift in governance/power  is to put our energy into what we can and 
where we can, to move forward the face and hands of love to others.

single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
