“I want to beg you, as much as I can, dear sir to be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and to try to love the questions themselves like locked rooms and like books that are written in foreign tongue. Do not now seek the answers, which cannot be given you because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now. Perhaps you will then gradually, without noticing it, live along some distant day into the answer.” ― Rainer Maria Rilke

In His hands
I heard the news about the catastrophe in New Orleans. I'm thankful that my Uncle Max and Aunt June are okay. The more I read about it, the worse it sounds. My heart goes out to the people trapped in the Superdome and other places. I hope they can be evacuated soon. The headlines in Thailand have been dominated by Hurricane Katrina and the 900 Iraqis who died in a bomb scare. It's depressing to read about. Anyone can die on any day. It's a fact that everyone tries to forget. Be thankful that we can put our trust in the Lord. He holds us in His hand everyday. I'm trying not to forget that.
