Weekly thoughts

By Rev. Paul Osumi

We tend to accuse others of bringing about the unfortunate circumstances in which we find ourselves. We tend to look for scapegoats. Like children escaping punishment, we say, "He made me do it." We blame everything and everybody for our plight except ourselves. We must have courage to confront ourselves and say, "I, too, am guilty."

Thoughts by the late Rev. Paul Osumi are selected weekly by his family.
