"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 are saved by love. No virtuous act is quite as virtuous from the standpoint of our friend or foe as it is from our standpoint. Therefore we must be saved by the final form of love, which is forgiveness."

~Reinhold Niebuhr

I know! There is a statue of him on our Campus (He graduated from Elmhurst College ((where I go))) And my Dorm Hall is named after him. We are having the Niebuhr Forum on Friday. I love the Serenity Prayer to!

Good to see you on board. How is school going? Are you able to still get some sewing done?

Alu_Rathbone

the machine was in the shop, but I think my mom was able to pick it up, not sure, I have to get home to get some stuff done on it! But I have some pot holders that need to get done and out before anything!

School is doing great! I'm having some issues of staying on task when it comes to practicing piano, but I'm working on that. Everything else though is going marvelously!
