Locating the Divine Mystery

The true role of biblical and theological science is not to reduce, much less to destroy, the divine mystery in human life, but to locate it.

Prayer for a Friend


I would like to ask for prayer for a fraternity brother of mine from DePauw University. His name is Randy Bernier, and his 6 month battle with cancer is coming to a close.

His wife, Lynn, posted this on their
family blog:


I am writing this entry with a huge heavy heart. For those of you who don't know, or those of you who have heard part of the story.

Randy suffered and massive stroke yesterday, with catastrophic hemmoraging to the left side of his brain. Apparently there was a massive tumor on the left side of his brain that burst and has bleed out in to the left side. Due the extreme severity
of the brian injury the doctors are unable to do anything for us, but make Randy
as comfortable as possible. I have been with him nonstop since this occurred
late yesterday afternoon. He has also been surrounded by his family and some of
the best friends that two people could ever ask for. His care has been moved to
Hospice and we are now going one hour at a time

Please say your prayers for our family.


Thank you all for praying for my friend.

Peace,

Mike

No Line On The Horizon


I skipped lunch today to zip to Wal Mart and pick up U2's latest album "No Line On The Horizon."
Been rockin' it all afternoon - it's got what you've come to expect from U2: Deep, thoughtful lyrics, classic Edge guitar, a probing spiritual bent voiced by Bono, all mixed in with some driving rock grooves and a bit of an attitude. Give it a listen, I think you'll dig it!
