The time for substance was before the crisis. The time for kindness and self-control, goodness and faithfulness–that was before those things were most critical. Because, of course, if we waited for the moment we needed love and peacefulness to develop them, we’re already behind.
Of course, given no other choice, this moment is just fine too.
It certainly is. I admire how much you can pack into these written moments… the kind of thing that seems to take me a written all day. Thanks.
