" . . . today, whether you live in Grand Rapids, Michigan or
Washington, DC, it goes without saying that we too are in momentous
times. No doubt these are choppy seas, and in order to navigate them
one needs a compass. Not a compass to point you between east and west,
north and south. Rather a moral compass that can direct you through
humility and shame, ego and honor, and ultimately to truth."
