I remember some years ago, after September 11th, in that difficult moment in our country's history, one of the phrases you heard discussed in politics was 'changing the equation.' I don't know if you remember that? 'We've got to do something to change the equation.' We didn't like the equation; we didn't like the solution that the equation had come up with, so we wanted to change the equation.

Today that equation has one great and good solution, which is life in Jesus Christ our savior and communion with our heavenly Father. He really and truly changes the equation for us. He changes the equation of the human heart.
