But, finally, there is more to it than that. Richard Jenson wrote a book entitled Story and Promise which points out we can never completely keep our promises because we are frail and limited creatures. I could promise to meet you next week but break my promise because an emergency, accident or even my death prevents me from doing so. When Jesus rose from death, it meant that the promise of God in Jesus could never be broken. That promise is for each one of us.
Earth day is more than flowers and birds.

Mid-South Hunger Walk submitted by Ted Wiatr Orientation at the University of Chicago includes several trips downtown, a community service project, and a meeting about safety in the big, dangerous city.
