Hi folks! "Most of us have lots of friends and friendly colleagues in our lives. Some of these people are or will become our 'true friends.' Building true friends takes time, earned trust, and a resolute commitment to the well-being of one another. Don’t settle for something less!" (excerpt-overview of Kelly’s 10-page article Upgrading Relational Resiliency). In addition to this featured article, we include three sets of tools for building relationships and helping to "bypass relational dead ends. “Above all keep fervent in your love for one another... ” I Peter 4:8) ...

Hi Folks—In this Update we feature the opening address to the UN General Assembly (UNGA) by UN Secretary-General António Guterres on 20 September 2022. The title and theme of this Update--perils, paralysis, hope--reflects our summary take-away from Guterres' message to the UNGA and to the world. We also share some Personal Reflections about "being people of faith-hope-love." And we include the message by Archbishop Justin Welby on 19 September 2022 at the funeral service at Westminster Abbey for Elizabeth II.

Hi folks! In this Update (#75) we focus on the various ways that the world is being outfitted for, participating in, and being impacted by armed conflicts. Specifically, and in the context of summoning us all to promote "positive peace" in our lives and world, we share summary statistics and information from 10 respected sources about national military budgets and military personnel, arms-selling and arms-buying countries, nuclear arsenals, civilian firearms and homicides, mines and munitions, UN Peacekeeping missions, forcibly displaced people, child soldiers, etc. For many people, including ourselves, reviewing the summary statistics and information below can be both surprising and alarming. It can also be saddening and maddening! But we do not lose hope--nor our faith and love! See our Final Thoughts at the end about "being people of faith-hope-love in our fractured world." We echo the words of Martin Luther King Jr.: "I believe that unarmed truth and unconditional love will have the final word in reality. This is why right, temporarily defeated, is stronger than evil triumphant.” (Martin Luther King Jr. Nobel Peace Prize acceptance speech, 1964) ... See MoreSee Less
