WLSU, What I Learned in 2024
| The Rev. Philip DeVaulWLSU, What I Learned in 2024
I want to do something I don’t normally do. I want to look back on this past year and name a few things I learned in 2024. I wouldn’t normally do this because, frankly, who the hell am I to tell you what I’ve learned, as if it could be relevant to you? It’s a little cocky. So when I say I learn them, please know I am guessing you probably already knew all these things yourself. So rather than learning anything from me, you get to just be proud of me for finally catching up with you!
It's also worth saying that most of the things I learned this year, I did not learn for the first time. At least I think I’ve thought them before. But in this last year, these four things sang out more loudly, more clearly than they ever have before. So this is more like four things I relearned. I tend to resist New Year’s resolutions, but I will say as I look forward to 2025, I am hoping to hold these things a little more closely than I have in the past. So without further ado, here are four things I learned in 2024.
