@JohnBrady Excellently put. “Do what seems needed and return repentantly.” Thanks so much for that. I think this is also what someone like Bonhoeffer did. He didn’t declare every move with certainty; he chose as one always needing forgiveness. From his L&P: Free responsibility “is founded in a God who calls for the free venture of faith to responsible action and who promises forgiveness and consolation to the one who on account of such action becomes a sinner.”

Omar Eduardo Rivera, a blind computer technician, was working on the 71st floor of the World Trade Center’s north tower on September 11, 2001, when a hijacked plane flew into the skyscraper. After Omar and his guide dog, Salty, fought their way to the stairwell, he unclipped the dog’s leash and ordered him to go. Convinced he would die, Omar wanted to give his beloved Labrador retriever a chance to survive. But Salty refused to leave his owner’s side, despite the panic and the intense heat. For nearly an hour, Salty...

@JohnBrady Nice! The only reason I didn’t preorder the Light flip phone was because I already think the Light III is too thick, and the flip is thicker still. But dang it I want those pushy buttons. I will say, in defense of the III, that I’m pretty sold on their setup. Just enough function, I think, but done in a way that makes it less a simplified smart phone than a dumb phone married to an old iPod. I haven’t used it for music at all, but their setup for podcasts is perfect. More like my old garmin watch than a smart phone app.
