Grace is so unfair.It offers love to the unlovable and provision to the selfish.It gives mercy to the unmerciful and sanctifies the sinful.

Adorable
Not a word to describe this elderly framedressed in boots for gardening,face flushed with perspiration,crowned by silver hair that has long since lostthe luster of youth.

Challenge for Spring
