We were sitting at Duke University trying to bring life into this world. 10 years later we have a 2.5 year old and she is our life!PrDLHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05440662920563796247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7291232.post-2248237108252426612011-09-10T11:42:57.862-05:002011-09-10T11:42:57.862-05:00I will never forget the comments from a Serbian Or...I will never forget the comments from a Serbian Orthodox priest given shortly after the United States bombed the smithereens out his country in the ‘90s. Asked about the death, destruction and horror of it he said, “It is because of our sins; it is because of our sins.” Not that the Serbian people had sinned against the U.S. Whenever any individual, family, community, or country suffers injury, calamity, or even death, the Church must call her people to kneel down in dust and ashes, just as you put it, and appeal to God’s mercy in Christ. But we must preface our cries for mercy with the full acknowledgment that “It is because of our sins.” Then we are in the proper frame of heart, mind, and will to receive His underserved grace and then stand to rebuild in renewed humility.William Gleasonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06332292750123949810noreply@blogger.com
