We had a lovely service at church today - full of remembrances, and of celebration. We both commemorated the September 11th events of 4 years ago - remember, two of those planes left from Boston, prayed for the people affected by hurricane Katrina, and baptized a twins born too early 6 months ago who are now healthy and thriving.

Life and death are always intertwined, but some days it seems more markedly true.
