- Last Thursday, word came that a high school friend had died of cancer. On Friday, the mother emailed to say her son with special needs had died during corrective surgery. On Monday, a friend was killed when a car hit his bicycle as he trained for RAGBRAI.
- Yesterday I listened to the debate in the wake of the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling, some reasoned, some fearful, some angry.
- Life is brief. Cultures shift. Laws change. But in the midst of loss and storm, take comfort in this truth:
All flesh is grass,
and all its beauty is like the flower of the field.
The grass withers, the flower fades
when the breath of the Lord blows on it;
surely the people are grass.
The grass withers, the flower fades,
but the word of our God will stand forever.
Isaiah 40: 6–8
