When the World Feels Heavy The Lord is close to the broken-hearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit.  (Psalm 34:18, NIV) The ache of another month October has been a heavy month for our world.

The Nicene Creed opens with these simple yet profound words: We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
