For six weeks our worship services have referenced a marketing survey about top-ranked values that Americans hold dear. During this season of Epiphany we’ve reflected from a faith perspective about stable relationships, justice, friendship, health and fitness and freedom. Next week we’ll look at the top ranked value of honesty and today we focus on the theme of family including input submitted from a number of you about the topic. Family is often in the public eye. Like the family of Lisa Marie Nowak – talented aeronautical engineer, Navy pilot, space shuttle astronaut, loving daughter, mother and wife who recently assaulted a woman who was vying for the affections of another astronaut whom Nowak coveted as her boyfriend. Family is often in the pubic eye.
