What My Fear of Flying Taught Me About Justice and God
The concept of the “fullness of time,” the time when justice will reign on earth, can lift us above our fear—of flying and of environmental catastrophe.

The concept of the “fullness of time,” the time when justice will reign on earth, can lift us above our fear—of flying and of environmental catastrophe.
God invites us to pause to experience the “overview effect”—moments of awe and gratitude during our lives as we work for justice.
May we all follow Jesus’ lead by taking care of ourselves so that we are able to work with abundant joy and love, even when it feels difficult.
