And it is.
The Lord bless you and keep you.
May the Lord let his face shine upon you, and be gracious to you.
And may the Lord look upon you kindly, and grant you peace.
See you next year.
"Quite a lot of what passes itself off as dialogue about our society consists of people trying to justify their own choices. Let me propose that if your beliefs or convictions matter more to you than people—if they require you to act as though you were a worse person than you are—you may have lost perspective."
Timothy Kreider, We Learn Nothing, 2012
