When people need us most

Karl “Sandy” Sandberg

There’s a saying, “Don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good!”

This can mean that someone is too preoccupied with religious self-righteousness to truly care about the needs of others. Readers of this magazine are those who genuinely strive to love their neighbors. And yet, no matter how much I commit to living this kind of life, I’ve found it’s invaluable to take a close look at what being “heavenly minded” truly means. Then I can reclaim the term “heavenly minded” and help recognize and care for the needs of others at the same time.
