(than the preceding post): Thursday Night Gumbo has a quote from Newman which describes all too many online discussions (well, offline ones as well, I suppose).
And Clio has a simple and touching reflection on the death of her mother. I hope that when I’m dying the eternal happiness of the people I love will be as much on my mind as was the case with her. I’m particularly struck by her concern that Clio would lose her faith because her prayers for her mother’s recovery were not answered. I long ago came to my own terms with the question of unanswered prayer, but no one can do that for another, and there isn’t even very much one can say; it is a struggle between that person and God.
