A point made in our sermon today -- and a good one it was. I do not think we can ever hear this enough: at least I cannot. It is too easy to forget and I need to be constantly reminded, dull and thick brain I have. We had a visiting priest, Fr George, and it was a great pleasure to have him serve the Divine Liturgy and to give us an encouraging and challenging sermon.
After that it was off to the airport to farewell my friend...until I see him in eight days. I love airports: the bustle of people, the destinations, the excitement... If only the parking wasn't so darn expensive; but it is worth it for a good friend. Had a good talk with a mutual friend on the way home on all manner of matters: that was mostly pleasant, though heart-wrenching at times considering some of the subject matter. Life can be hard at times, but thanks be to God not only for His great love and compassion, but the love and compassion He provides through friends.
