Evening: Psalms 116, 121; John 14:1-6
Rhyl, where my mother lives in Wales, has an all-weather Shannon class waterjet-driven lifeboat ( https://rnli.org/what-we-do/lifeboats-and-stations/our-lifeboat-fleet/shannon-class-lifeboat ); it races at 50 km/h to save people in distress. Amazing boat! More importantly, in British lifeboat stations, plaques record brave rescues; if sailors or lifeboatmen perish, a memorial might read: “… with the loss of 5 souls”. A soul is a human life. All Souls’ Day is for remembering life-giving human beings (like lifeboatmen, or like my sister-in-law Penny, who died 2 years ago today). Jesus says his way is the way to life for human beings, the life-giving truth we need.
