These too will lead to outcomes that we don't now see. The danger is that we can take ourselves far too seriously in this reaping and sowing. We humans are a funny lot with all our strutting about, all of our cocksureness, thinking we have the answer for any dilemma or can fix any problem. Yet the truth about us is far more complex. Many of us then are loaded with despair.
Youth dies, and beauty, and hope, and desire.
A grave is buried within a grave when a man is buried. But the message this morning is not one of despair. This is not the final word. There is another way to view the world. It may well be that something else is involved in the equation.
