Friends,
In
my sermon a couple of weeks ago I mentioned a conversation between Anderson
Cooper and Stephen Colbert that had been making the social media rounds. I was
moved by the interview, which talks of faith and grief and hope. I wish the
world was filled with more conversations like this. If more people spoke
together with this kind of honesty and kindness and humor, the world would be a
more enjoyable place in which to live and we would be better off as a people.
Anyway, please take ten minutes or so to watch this video, which is only part
of the interview and which begins after Stephen Colbert has spoken of learning
to feel grateful for the tragic death of his father and two of his brothers,
who perished in a plane crash when Stephen was ten years old. Like Colbert,
Anderson Cooper lost his father at age ten.

I
think you will find this video to be well-worth the ten minutes or so it takes
to watch.
God’s Peace,
Ben
