Desire is an integral part of being fully alive. It draws us out of ourselves. It is a source of drive, energy, and commitment. It is also understood as the root of discontent and problems . We all desire to be different in many ways. To be better than I am, I must embrace the I that I am—and that may be the hardest part. Yes, the inherent worth and dignity of every person does include each and every one of us. Revs. Michael Carter and Judith Long return for the service.
