Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-13
“How does one remember God, reach for God, realize God in the midst of one’s life, if one is constantly being overwhelmed by that life?”
—Christopher Wiman
“One way or another, we are always remembering, of course. There is no escaping it even if we want to, or at least no escaping it for long, though God knows there are times when we try to, don’t want to remember. In one sense the past is dead and gone, never to be repeated, over and done with, but in another sense, it is of course not done with at all or at least not done with us. Every person we have ever known, every place we have ever seen, everything that has ever happened to us – it all lives and breathes deep in us somewhere whether we like it or not, and sometime it doesn’t take much to bring it back to the surface.”
—Frederick Buechner
“Forgetfulness leads to exile, while redemption is the secret to redemption.”
—Baal Shem Tov
