We live as if better >> organization, perfect efficiency, and instant acquisition will somehow >> deliver us from our meaninglessness and hopelessness. >> >> Yet, Jesus-one, we are from God, the Creator and Protector of all that is >> personal. Through our personalized expression of love for each other we >> proclaim: "Do you want to see who the person of God is and how he >> personally loves us?
