This morning, Rev. Mike Adamek joined us to begin our month of reflection on Expectations. Rev. Mike argued that we shouldn't let our expectations -- whether generated by ourselves or others (based on our attitudes of optimism or pessimism) -- create a cocoon around us that keeps us from being vulnerable. Life isn't the way it's supposed to be. It's the way you cope that matters. That takes courage, but being vulnerable means we are open not just to the bad, but also to the good.
