As I sat on the beach chair in Punta Cana, Dominican Republic enjoying the balmy tropical weather and wondering if I had the energy to walk the 30 steps to the beach bar for a beer I felt called to write these words… Our soul seeks to know who it is in relation to God. Our life rediscovers itself through life experiences and most clearly through difficult, dangerous and painful times. The soul is on a voyage and journey of discovery and begins to see glimpses of the divine plan as the rays of light penetrate the darkness. Many times we forget these glimpses and rays as we live out our lives with the concerns of daily life. At times our souls take the time to contemplate the divine in the beauty and intricacies of nature. Sometimes we marvel at the perfection of a baby. We see the divine connections when we see perfect timing in meeting people; we marvel at déjà vu- we have been there before in our dreams. We are granted the privilege to share peace, love and hope soul to soul with another. A meeting with someone we are concerned about happens a little too perfectly to be anything other than a divine appointment. Through the struggles, hopes, sorrows, challenges and loves in our lives we rediscover our divine heritage as sons and daughters through the sacrifice and love of our beloved brother and Savior Jesus Christ. In Him, through Him, with Him we have eternal life. |

In the past several weeks we have been hit with the news of RCMP officers being caught shoplifting in Vancouver B.C. during the Olympics, dying while pulling off drunken stunts, breaking into a house while off duty and other actions that discredit the police. We have heard and read of a bishop from Nova Scotia being caught with child pornography. A colonel in the Canadian Armed Forces was charged with first degree murder and sexual assault. Tiger Woods, held up as an icon of clean living and a family man, comes clean with a hidden life of deceit and adultery after he is found out. People in positions of the public trust have caused untold embarrassment, anger, hurt and a loss of trust when they breached ethics and lost the vision of personal and professional integrity.
The RCMP motto, "TO DO THE RIGHT" in my opinion defines integrity. To do the right thing requires us to have an informed conscience that understands God's law of love that is written in our hearts and conscience and then live out the law to love God and our neighbor. |
