When There Are More Q's Than A's

Contributed by Tim Bond on Nov 18, 2002

When we are forced to live with more questions than answers, we must live by faith.

Contributed by Simon Rundell on Oct 26, 2001

Funeral Service for a 4 year old child, who was buried in a Natural Burial Site, after a long battle with an agressive cancer.

When a child dies, we are inclined to say “What a pity he was taken before he was ripe and able to bear fruit”. We speak of promise rather than actual achievement. This would be quite unfair to XXXXXX. We don’t speak in the same way of a new blade of wheat: we appreciate it for what it is – a ...read more

What More Must I Do?

Contributed by Melvin Newland on Oct 11, 2001
