Editor, <\/p>\n
There was a recent news article of note reporting on a forensic symposium in New Philadelphia. <\/p>\n
One of the speakers, as reported, was Graham Hetrick, Dauphin County coroner, who addressed the opioid crisis. Interestingly, he noted: Were asking the wrong questions. The question is not what to do about it; rather, why we are the most free and comfortable people in history suffering so much pain and it is spiritual pain, that they need to anesthetize themselves. <\/p>\n
We see many committees, programs, forums and government initiatives on the opioid crisis, properly recognizing we are living an acute epidemic as a society. Honestly and truthfully, is it working? <\/p>\n
Or, as Mr. Hetrick indicates, are we asking the wrong questions? What is missing from the legislation, programs, funding and forums? The answer is simple the spiritual darkness in our lives is not acknowledged or addressed. <\/p>\n
To paraphrase the first two steps of Alcoholics Anonymous, first, we admit we are powerless over, in this case, the opioid crisis. Second, we believe that a power greater than ourselves can restore us; then the healing may begin. Jesus Christ tells us that without Him, we can do nothing; but with Him, all things are possible. <\/p>\n
In the tender compassion of our God, the dawn from on high has broken upon us, to shine on those who live in darkness ... and guide our feet to the path of peace. <\/p>\n
There it is, always before us, freely given. Do we believe? Will we follow the light or continue to wander in darkness. <\/p>\n
God give you peace. <\/p>\n
