We all talk about being busy, and when I look at this calendar, it seems that way. There is something for everyone or a regular basis. The calendar is also a clear indicator that balance takes time and determination. We have four points to consider and put into place in our lives as God’s community on the UNO campus (and environs). You see them on my contact cards:

1) Clarifying and learning about our beliefs and spirituality (progressive talk about God)
2) Biblical Justice (be sweat free)
3) Service to others (make yourself useful)
4) Being together (free food)

You are invited to join any or all pieces—and remember that all the pieces give us balance.
