The Golden Rule

As we look at where we are in the world today, we face many challenges to our faith and to our ideals. A steady government system that we felt in the past cared for our basic needs is now under scrutiny. Previously, through good governance, we shared a sense of being part of a large collective community. We now find that there is a sense that we may have to be the ones to lead the task of caring for ourselves and our own families.

This onslaught of candidates can also be seen as a huge opportunity. A year ago, we were wondering who, if anyone, would…
