Today I went for a drive up to my favorite mountain and took some time to take in the hills of fresh unfurling ferns, the meadows covered in dandylions and the mountains that still have some snow on them at the tops. I drove for a while sick in my soul from things happening that are just too hard to bear really. And yet I must, and don't we all. When there are things going on that are just too hard to bear we still bear it. Lord give us strength as we take part in the suffering of the soul.
