Last night my husband's gospel band performed at church. One of the tunes they did was "Stand By Me" and the audience was very moved by this old Ben E King song. I feel so fervently that we have to tend to those who are afraid or hungry or homeless, war-weary, mourning, loveless and alone, lost in the many, many ways people can become lost these days.
Tonight, one of the band members sent this video and I realize that people around the world feel the words of this song are so meaningful too.
So watch, and think about how we will reach out in the new year to stand by our neighbors who live close by in our cities and far away in other parts of the world. We are one people.

Mamie, I'm sure D and the gang were inspiring. They always have so much emotion when they sing - but that video ...
