How Much Good... ?
Do all the good you can,
By all the means you can,
In all the ways you can,
In all the places you can,
At all the times you can,
To all the people you can,
As long as ever you can.
~John Wesley

If I speak in the tongues of humans and angels,
but have not love,
I have become sounding brass or a tinkling symbol.
And if I have prophecy and know all mysteries and all knowledge,
and if I have all faith so as to remove mountains,
but have not love, I am nothing.
And if I dole out all my goods, and
if I deliver my body that I may boast
but have not love, nothing I am profited.
Love is long suffering,
love is kind,
it is not jealous,
love does not boast,
it is not inflated.
It is not discourteous,
it is not selfish,
it is not irritable,
it does not enumerate the evil.
It does not rejoice over the wrong, but rejoices in the truth
It covers all things,
it has faith for all things,
it hopes in all things,
it endures in all things.
Love never falls in ruins;
but whether prophecies, they will be abolished; or
tongues, they will cease; or
knowledge, it will be superseded.
For we know in part and we prophecy in part.
But when the perfect comes, the imperfect will be superseded.
When I was an infant,
I spoke as an infant,
I reckoned as an infant;
when I became [an adult],
I abolished the things of the infant.
For now we see through a mirror in an enigma, but then face to face. Now I
know in part, but then I shall know as also I was fully known.
But now remains
faith, hope, love,
these three;
but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:1-13
It was a beautiful morning, a beautiful drive, and a beautiful breakfast with wonderful company. The Pride Sunday service at the Harrisonburg Unitarian Universialist was fun- such a wonderful group of folks! Later, at Harrisonburg's first "Pride in the Park", sponsored by the Shenandoah Valley Gay and Lesbian Association, around 75 people gathered for a baby shower, a picnic, volleyball, and friendship. It was truly a wonderful occasion, and very fitting that it began with a Baby Shower. A new birth! On the ride home, Heather and i were treated to a wonderful spectacle- a glorious rainbow bending over the Shenandoah Valley!
God is Good. :)
