Dear Dorothy, I’ve been struggling with something that I can’t seem to shake off. A few months ago, I was offered a chance to speak at a major industry event, a platform I’ve dreamed of for years. But at the time, I was overwhelmed with work, lacked confidence, and convinced myself I wasn’t ready. So I declined. Since then, I’ve seen others in my field take up similar opportunities and grow in visibility, while I feel like I’m standing still. I can’t stop thinking about what might have been if I had said yes. I feel like I failed myself,…

Not every star shines the loudest. In a world captivated by bright lights and loud applause, it’s easy to overlook the quiet ones—the children who don’t race to the front of the line, who speak softly, who don’t beg for attention but observe from the edges.

Readings: 2 Corinthians 11:18, 21-30; Psalm 34; Matthew 6:19-23 I would like to begin today’s reflection by encouraging you to watch the movie “The Case for Christ.” It tells the compelling story of Lee Strobel, a journalist and avowed atheist, whose world is shaken when his wife embraces the Christian faith. In a bid to rescue her from what he sees as delusion, Lee sets out to disprove the Resurrection—the cornerstone of Christianity. Ironically, the deeper he investigates, the more he is confronted by profound historical and medical evidence that challenges his skepticism. One of the most moving scenes is…
