Skiing & Love-ly Galaxies
I went skiing in June. Yesterday, went up to 10,000 feet with a buddy. The kids and I will go camping in that area next weekend. It was awesome. This youtube was then sent to me and I sat back and pondered the wildness of it all…

What happens to the love stuff and the justice stuff and the human rights stuff when we realize that we are PUNY and insignificant?
Read this quote and try to get something out of it, then watch the Youtube. Food for thought…
Quote by Reinhold Niebuhr
Nothing that is worth doing can be achieved in our lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope. Nothing which is true or beautiful or good makes complete sense in any immediate context of history; therefore we must be saved by faith. Nothing we do, however virtuous, can be accomplished alone; therefore we must be saved by love.
The true situation is that anything short of love cannot be perfect justice. In fact, every definition of justice actually presupposes sin as a given reality. It is only because life is in conflict with life, because of sinful self-interest, that we are required carefully to define schemes of justice which prevent one life from taking advantage of another. Yet no scheme of justice can do full justice to all the variable factors which the freedom of man introduces into human history.
