The only constant in life is change. History has demonstrated change, sometimes fast and furious and sometimes slow and measured, a progression of ideas and acceptance by main stream society. Today IT technology, environmental challenges, social justice and discrimination are front and center, along with the COVID-19 pandemic. We all strive for positive change in our lives. John's baptism of repentance and Jesus baptism with the holy ghost is a life transformation. Jesus temptation and confrontation with evil in the wilderness brought harmony and peace to earth. He addressed all facets of life through his actions and words. Jesus began the transformation of the world. Live your life in his light all to the glory of God.

Amen.
