From the Pastor\u00b4s Desk<\/h1>\n

Sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves. (Eph 5:19)<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dear friends and members of the Balboa Union Church<\/p>\n

As children we learned how important it is to practice hygiene. We wash our hands several times a day, we brush our teeth. That’s part of our lifestyle that we do no longer think about it. We don\u00b4t question the need of personal hygiene. However, allow me to ask: Is this really enough? Well, I don\u00b4t want to promote excessive hygiene. I just want to ask what we are used to do for our soul-spiritual life. Each day we face so many images. Each day we get so many news. Some messages and pictures are just awful. Of course it won\u00b4t be a solution to put down the newspaper and to turn off the television. But what are we doing for our spiritual health? Do we need something like a spiritual hygiene?
\nAt this point I remember a recommendation of Martin Luther. Facing depressive or hard moments he had said: \u00abWe cannot forbid that black birds fly over our heads. But we can prevent that they building a nest in our head and mind.\u00bb
\nGood music, cheerful moments, worshipping together, a short prayer – these are things which are important for our inner balance. Just as we won\u00b4t miss washing our hands, these things also belong to our mental hygiene. Let us encourage each other; this is an important duty among Christians.<\/p>\n

Kind Regards
\nReverend Roland<\/p>\n
