Voices live in every finite being,
Often undivined, near silence.
Hear them!
Hear them in you! in others!
They sense truth deep in all life;
They know the things true Pilgrims stand for.
Stand out!
Come to Him without the things the world brings;
Come to Him!
As a child and as a poor man.
He had all. He gave all.

Hannah and Ebenezer


Today is the second anniversary of the birth and death of our niece and nephew, Hannah and Ebenezer Moon. It's a gray day, but the flowers are out and things are turning green all around. The incongruity is still so heavy in my heart...death in spring?
Come quickly, Lord! Make it right.
