the love of God
could we with ink the ocean fill
and were the skies of parchment made
were every stalk on earth a quill
and every man a scribe by trade
to write the love of God above
would drain the ocean dry
nor could the scroll contain the whole
though stretched from sky to sky
the love of God is greater far than tongue or pen can ever tell
it goes beyond the highest star
it reaches to the lowest hell
ascend the hill / ‘hymns’
‘There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.’

And he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me.
That is why, for Christ’s sake, I delight in weaknesses, in insults, in hardships, in persecutions, in difficulties. For when I am weak, then I am strong.
a love letter for you. espo.
