Letters from a Glass House

Our podcast will feed your mind with topics that matter: living your values, caring about the world and the people in it. Letters from a Glass House is a not-for-profit ministry of the Unitarian Universalist Congregation of Venice, Florida.

Words To Ponder

 

We hold the keys to changing the world, one small piece at a time. One protest sign at a time, one life at a time, sometimes one cup of coffee or one Facebook post at a time.

We are the hope and we can never be hopeless because we can never be denied another chance to make it right. As long as we have breath, we are the change. We are the hope. We are the joy.

G.K. Chesterson said, “To love means loving the unlovable. To forgive means pardoning the unpardonable. Faith means believing the unbelievable. Hope means hoping when everything seems hopeless.”

Get woke, because you are the light of the world and the shofar has sounded.

Reverend Amy Petrie Shaw
