Tonight begins the Muslim celebration of Ramadan and the Jewish celebration of Rosh Hashana, the New Year.
September always feels like the beginning of the New Year to me, much more than the dark days of January. As the mom of school age children and as a minister of a church that begins its year in September, it is now that I gear up, make plans, create new resolutions, and one more time, begin anew.
It feels like a new year in this country, with true possibilities for sexual justice.
