Now here's today's news, discerned differently.

Bert Turhart set sail from British Columbia last year in late October on a solo journey

to circumnavigate the globe.

He arrived back on July 18th, where he was welcomed by family and friends, and where

he was promptly thrust into the reality of life in a pandemic.

In a nutshell, I've been sequestered completely, totally isolated from the rest of the world,

Terhart said of his voyage.

Astronauts on the International Space Station orbiting 35 miles above the Earth were actually

the closest humans to him for most of his journey.

He told a reporter, when I got back,

the first thing I said was, what did I miss? In my 62 years, these have easily been the most

tumultuous nine months I have witnessed. In these difficult days, Representative John Lewis's

commitment to redemptive suffering has taken on special meaning and urgency.

In a recent article, I stated my deep appreciation for Representative Lewis's courageous and sacrificial leadership in America's ongoing quest for racial equality.

However, I also noted my disagreement with him on moral

issues such as same-sex marriage, religious liberty, and especially on abortion. A reader responded

to my article with this question, Jim, I am struggling with how to balance how a man so Christ-like

in his courage to confront violence, racism nonviolently,

could arrive at these conclusions on issues that are so contrary to God's word.

Any comments would be appreciated.
