May the peace that passes all understanding, stand right in front of us, and may, we, and all the world who are able, grasp that illusive but beautiful gift from our Creator. May we turn to our neighbors, not matter their race, their color, their status and recognize their beauty before God. May we see each other as He does and do to others as we would have done to us.

-Carol Ann Carrasco Trout
