When I was younger, my mom used to sew. She made a lot of my clothes when I was growing up. Anyway, we had quite a few pair of scissors in our house, and we used them for many things: cutting paper, string, plastic, whatever. But mom's good sewing scissors were off-limits. They were the scissors

The image from our first reading, of God writing his law on our hearts, is very consoling and meant to encourage us.
The image of writing could call to mind one complication. That is, if we are honest with ourselves we all could probably admit that we may not always be the best medium for God to
