Saved by LoveNothing worth doing is completed in our lifetime; therefore, we must be saved by hope.
Nothing true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore, we must be saved by faith.
Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore, we must be saved by love.
-Reinhold Niebuhr
It's good to have the family together not only because great stress begets great strength, but also because the warmth of love helps everything and everyone. Sawyer and Angela arrived Monday. We enjoyed the traditional Angel Food cake for Angela's birthday. The whole family was present. The only one happier than Angela was Mimi. Of course, Falcon was better than watching any screen, so we all ogled him. Tuesday, we headed for the lake where we'll spend the next week. It's a privilege we don't take for granted. So far, the weather is cool and the clouds are hanging just like the huckleberries: low, damp, and plump. No matter. There are no bad days at the lake. In these times, it's especially important to find ways to make life good. As I say, especially today.
