What is thy only comfort in life and in death?
Answer in a nutshell: that we belong to Christ and live for Him.
My face feels swollen and my eyes puffy from tears continually spilled. I'm surprised at how these Tears still springing forth, despite me feeling like a piece of cloth wrung so many times it is beyond bone dry.

New Year, new entry
Noch ein Jahr ist vorbei.
(another year is over)
That line is fast becoming my catchphrase at the end of every year/the start of a new one.
In recent years, the years close leaving me with a vague sense of dissatisfaction. Questions like "What have I achieved? Is it enough?" ring in my head long after the revelry and cheers of the 31Dec/1Jan have ( Read more... ) -

Serenity Prayer
"God grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And the wisdom to know the difference.
