Dark nights. . .

Discussing burial rites, and pastoral concerns pertaining thereto, in Liturgical Practicum.

A case study of death, and theologies of death and dying, in Biblical Theology.

Then, correspondence: a couple of emails that inadvertently pushed buttons, and stirred memories. Remembering deaths... of a loved one, in one case; of security and blind trust, in another.

Then reading Ezekiel for my OT class, and the ugly images there...

Enough, and more than enough.

Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of your only Son, our Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.

Now, to sleep. I hope.
