Yesterdfay was chuch and this is one of the readings for this week.

Psalm 103

1Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name.

2Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and do not forget all his benefits —

3who forgives all your iniquity,

who heals all your diseases,

4who redeems your life from the Pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

5who satisfies you with good as long as you live

so that your youth is renewed like the eagle’s

The sermon was from one of the elders. He discussed his son — who as a medic, aged 25, is dying. His comment is that we must seek God first.

I don’t have this elder’s cpurage. When it is tough I get angry and withdraw, even though thsi hurts me. One of the blessings of children is that thye know when this is happening and you have do do things to keep them well.

Which leads us away from ourselves, and allows us to acknowledge that there is some good. This is not answer: it is not the beginning of an answer.

I think we may not have the answer. Perhaps the anser takes something bigger. The Psalmist speaks truth. Iat times we will not hear it.
