Short grass prairie SD

  1. 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.
  2. Yesterday I listened to the debate in the wake of the Supreme Court’s DOMA ruling, some reasoned, some fearful, some angry.
  3. 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
