This week we discussed when crisis hits a family. it is interesting to me in reflection upon the responses of my own family to crisis. in particular I am interested by the fact that there is a choice in the matter for a family to pull together or to draw apart. this is simply what will make the difference deciding long before a crisis comes what your response will be to any crisis. the answer to that question can and should always be we will trust in god and cling to one another. this should be reaffirmed frequently and then especially once a crisis comes.
