Here’s a nugget from Garrison Keillor, who just turned 79. 

“Richard Dawkins argued against God’s existence, saying that omniscience and omnipotence are contradictory. I believe God will clear this up when we meet Him, meanwhile we live with disarray and pray for forgiveness. In my remaining years, I hope to forgive myself. I feel I’m making progress.”

Disarray is inevitable in life. Forgiveness is essential to life. “Above all, keep loving one another earnestly, for love covers a multitude of sins.” (1 Peter 4:8)

“O God, you declare your almighty power chiefly in showing mercy and pity: Grant us the fullness of your grace, that we, running to obtain your promises, may become partakers of your heavenly treasure; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen” (Proper 28 – BCP)
