Have to listen again to catch the name of the CEWG essay. Time well spent.
Not sure where I am going with this, but I’ll land it here to voice it. Feel free to ignore it. I can not get the suffering of a friend out of my heart since her 14 year old daughter committed suicide Nov 2021. We see each other sporadically. I say little. Def none of the cheap comfort.
Much of what’s been said here I think would be helpful for her and her family. Yet, from this ‘side’ that Norah was only 14, her life ending is nothing short of tragic.
Anyway listening again, I’ll want to jot down some beautiful things said. I’ll want to keep them in my heart for perhaps another sporadic time with Susan.
I can hardly begin to express how grateful i am for this conversation. I wept. The exposition of the Lazarus’ story. The distinction between death as finitude on this earth and death as extinction. The truth which holds together DBH and John Behr. This is ‘credible hope’. I have always had an intuitive sense of this but so much preaching and commentary, particularly on the Lazarus story, has seemed to me to be unbelievable bunk. I feel grateful to not feel so alone in the way i’ve been thinking. Rather timely as we approach Holy Week. Thank you Thank you Thank you.
Beautiful, my God you are
Thank you

To pray for His leading in it.
God, these words seem so inadequate.
