"What's lost is nothing to what's found, and all the death that ever was set next to life would scarcely fill a cup." -- Reverend Frederick Buechner
It is easy to lose perspective. Particularly around General Conference. The passion we have for the issues at hand can often cloud the larger reality. Sometimes it feels as if our life was hanging on a vote. But, of course, it is not—our life is hidden, found, sustained and nourished in Christ.
As we go through these days. . . . let us remind each other of this. Let us remember that if all the death that ever was (including that readily available in Ft. Worth 08) was set next to life . . . . it would scarcely fill a cup. A bitter cup, for sure, but only a cup.
