I find myself wishing that I had the words to express how good I feel right now about the world I live in. I have that feeling of peace, love and joy “that surpasses all understanding”. I also readily understand the chaos and problems in the world around me; the pandemic, global warming, civil wars and a narcissistic president who does not accept reality. I also realize that I am seventy-two, disabled and in pain much of the time. In the perspective of eternity and God’s world things are in divine order. “The kingdom of God is not coming with signs that can be observed, nor will they say; ‘Look here it is!’ or ‘There it is!’ for the kingdom of God is within you.” (gospel of Luke)
