November already! Halloween candy is on clearance, and some of us are already Christmas shopping; where does the time go? Speaking of time, did everyone get their clocks set back? We had a very good turnout yesterday; maybe people were waking up "earlier"?
Rev. Mike brought us a message about Trust and the Common Good. Trust is prone to vicious or virtuous cycles, and the government shutdown last month showed us our government far gone on the vicious side --- mistrust leads our leaders to become entrenched in their ideologies and treat each other like enemies, which only leads to more mistrust --- and sadly, there are no easy answers to how to turn it around.
