your fingers – the moon and the stars you have set in place – what
are mortals that you should think of us, mere humans that you should
care for us? For you have made us only a little lower than God, and

"It is not good for the man to be alone." – Genesis 2:18a
Not long ago I put on a sweater and found a couple of loose threads,

I am sure that nothing can separate us from God's love – not life or
death, not angels or spirits, not the present or the future, and not
