When Life Deals You a Lousy Hand Scott Alexander writes, "It seems to me the question is not will 'bad' things happen to you in your lifetime. Unless you are remarkably lucky, they will. The question is what 'spiritual camber' will you manage to bring to your heart as you struggle to respond. In life's difficult times, our spiritual perspective largely determines whether we will succeed in finding new meaning and hope for the days ahead, or sink with sinking circumstances." Scott Alexander is minister of River Road Unitarian Church in Bethesda, Maryland. |

Perhaps in the midst of your warm afterglow, or the ennui of another disappointment, or the internal conflicts that arise when there is so much social pressure to give, you are ready to contemplate the need for self-compassion. If you are in charge of your own TLC (tender loving care) what is it going to look like? Finding Joy in caring for yourself — how might you do that? |

Where Theology Meets the Road We think we know what we believe and what we hold to be true, but when it comes to a crisis of illness or death, often all bets are off. Church member Michael Eselun, a chaplain at UCLA Medical Center, will share an exploration of the different ways patients' theologies intersect with such crises, and the common themes that seem to surface from the atheist or fundamentalist alike.
