To Our Readers

Russ Gerber

A world of good intentions. And yet, disagreements, apathy, lack of resources, a world of seemingly legitimate reasons, often stop a project in its tracks. Or perhaps we get off to a good start and go far beyond good intentions, but just before the final results are in and our work is complete, something comes along and derails our efforts. We don't quite finish.

Whatever the scenario, unfinished work is all too familiar. But contributing editor Warren Bolon, author of "Until the job is really done," has a recommendation that will help you keep everything on track as it should be, and enable you to see your work through to completion. "In my experience with projects of all sorts," he writes, "so often it has been right at that point, call it the 'high-fives' moment, that I've seen the need to be especially alert and spiritually engaged." Exactly what we need to be alert to and how we can be spiritually engaged are some of the key points he makes. (We should add that after Mr. Bolon was assigned the project of writing this Cover Story, he had no trouble submitting his article on time, in fact ahead of schedule, so that you can read it in its entirety as this week's Cover Story.)

Also this week, we debut the publishing of the top essays from last year's Millennium Essay Contest. There were two categories for entrants, "age 20 and under" and "age 21 and over." This week, we present the First Place essay in the latter category, written by James H. Albins. The other First Place essay will appear in the January 24 issue.
