We do it for the exercise certainly. We\u2019ve lost a combined 47 pounds these 10 pandemic months on these trails, as I think I\u2019ve mentioned. It\u2019s more than exercise, though. I do my best thinking out in the woods (I can\u2019t speak for Gracie). <\/p>\n<p>Today I got in a lot of thinking. It could have been the windless silence, or the low winter sun glancing off the fresh snow. In the wake of the shocking violence in Washington, I thought <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/category\/how-we-help\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">about <i>Guideposts <\/i>magazine<\/a> and how, at Guideposts, <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/angels-and-miracles\/miracles\/gods-grace\/what-makes-our-guideposts-staffers-feel-awe\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">we believe that everything is possible<\/a> with faith, hope and prayer, even overcoming the profound and historic challenges of a deeply divided nation. <\/p>\n<p><i><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" class=\" size-full wp-image-49405\" alt=\"\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/gp0221_embed2_0.jpg\" style=\"float:right\" width=\"288\" \/>Guideposts <\/i>has never been about politics. We don\u2019t do controversy. There are plenty of places where folks can find that, maybe too many. <i>Guideposts <\/i>tells stories of hope and inspiration that relate to our readers\u2019 everyday lives, what we\u2019ve done for more than 75 years and what I\u2019ve done in one role or another for 35. <\/p>\n<p>Even in these past few difficult years, our differences seemingly insurmountable, our readers have shared stories that inspire and uplift, that celebrate a diversity of views. You might remember <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/friends-and-family\/friends\/a-christian-pastor-and-a-muslim-imam-find-friendship\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">an article co-authored by a pastor and an imam<\/a>, whose congregations shared a parking lot, and how they came to learn about and respect each other\u2019s devotion to faith; or another where an environmentalist and a logging executive discover that they have more in common than not. <\/p>\n<p>In our February issue, we feature a cover story by the <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/positive-living\/health-and-wellness\/better-living\/positive-thinking\/how-this-church-strives-for-reconciliation-in-a-historically-segregated-city\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pastor of a diverse church<\/a>. He describes how his congregation deals with social justice and the Black Lives Matter movement, even though they <a href=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/prayer\/how-to-pray\/how-to-pray-for-people-you-disagree-with\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">don\u2019t all agree<\/a> on these issues. They do not necessarily seek to change each other\u2019s mind but to honor their shared humanity and reach common ground. <\/p>\n<p>These stories are not about agreeing to disagree. That would risk trivializing the problems we face. We called our February story Our Common Ground. We are seeking more uplifting pieces from people overcoming differences within their churches, their neighborhoods and even their families.<\/p>\n<p>We hope to help bring people together, to love more and hate less, as we have since Dr. Peale and his wife, Ruth, founded the magazine.
