Hunker Down


30 years ago one of my sisters and two nephews and I went white water rafting.  We had been warned about an area downstream where there were a lot of rocks on the right.  We were told to paddle hard to the left.  We failed.  We decided  to stop paddling, hunker down, and hold on tight to some part of the interior of the raft.  We were bounced around as if we were in a pinball machine, but we made it through and continued on downstream.
The memory comes back to me now as the best way to deal with the current issues in our Church.  Stop trying now to change the course, hunker down, and hang on to what's interior, Love whom we sometimes call God.
