Seeing Clearly

Wood frame window, glass, paint, polished mirrors

The Apostle Paul wrote that “for now we see life through a glass, darkly.” Some things, we actually cannot understand at all. In others, we see only ourselves. We can look at the world as black and white, or through its sufferings, with rose-colored glasses, or as mostly gray. But sometimes, if we humble ourselves, we can see real truth.

Pete lives with his wife, Allison, in Newburyport. He has four children and is pastor of Hope Church.
