Dawn comes again like a balm of hope, promising the great Do Over. I wonder when that first day was complete if God had more in mind our need to try again than to create time and space. I think of all the things we need to try again, our government, our schools, our virtues, our forgiveness; if the truth be known—mostly just try again at being, if being better is the goal. Being better has lost its appeal to most of us, proving we are better seems to be the norm, or I guess it is more proving the other lesser better than me. It all seems to come from using “me” as the standard, the bar by which I measure all others. What is needed is a Better Standard Being! Oh, how brilliant God is.
