Thank you for this beautiful passage. Yes, it all can be too much and I am finding it a challenge to see the good these days. Losing several family members in very tragic ways has me in a "questioning" stage. I am thankful to be back in the Lowcountry for Spring and early summer. Seeing the flowers getting ready to bloom and the beautiful water views brings me joy.

Last night, as I received ashes at one of the alters where you've dispensed ashes in your service as a pastor, the enormity of what we are saying on Ash Wednesday really hit me. I probably should say the reality of what we are saying. And it was good. How weird is that? Perhaps one of the wonderful things about believing in a God who will love us forever is that we can face mortality in a profoundly different way. As Charles Wesley wrote, "Where O death is now thy sting?"
