Prompt: Religion Again. Run away!

What principles define how you live?

I used to have a mishmash of principles that I cobbled together myself, but in 2010, I went to a church service for the first time in years, and the Gospel reading was from Luke 6. It was all stuff I had heard before, quoted here and there one verse at a time.

I was NOT any kind of Christian at the time, but this passage hit me like a freight train. It’s a very straightforward and practical statement of principles and how to implement them. It was one of those rare instances in life that changes everything.

I am not saying it is easy or that I always live up to that standard. It isn’t and I don’t. But I try.
