To ignore facts doesn’t change the facts.
(Andy Rooney, late television social commentator)
We often are like the ostrich, aren’t we: hiding our heads in the sand so we don’t have to face the facts? When we pull our heads out, though, the facts remain. First, we must know the truth and then we can respond to it with thought and courage.
Then you will know the truth, and the truth will set you free. (John 8:32)
