Our family went to church Easter Sunday.
A lot of us.
Dear Daughter’s Mother-in-law was ushering.
Just after the end of the service, while she was helping at the altar, her purse was stolen.
We are told by local police that more purses are stolen at churches than at shopping malls.
We are told that times are hard and that we should be understanding…
I am reminded of a bumper sticker seen a while back:
The Bible says that to err is human; to forgive divine.
The Marine Corps does not believe in either.
I am not a Marine, but … as those fine folk are wont to say, Semper Fi!!

But, can one say Semper Fi (Always Faithful) and yet set aside those pillars of faith about the erring which is present in human brokeness and the gift in forgiveness?
The answer, I think, is that a Marine must be faithful to command and country. But then there's that higher authority. That can be much tougher.
