1) Where I thrived The mountains facing children and families look insurmountable. But remember: Love never fails. #dontquit May you love law enough to refine it into an indelible tool for justice. NACC = -Aubrey Edwards-Luce, JD, MSW NACC 2024 Outstanding Legal Advocate
2) what I have learned From Scot Sauls: โAnother potential comfort to consider is that although he does not provide us with answers concerning our grief, he does provide us with himself. When Martha and Mary questioned him about the untimely death of their brother and how he, Jesus, delayed four days after burial to arrive at the scene, we are told that Jesus wept. Then, right before Jesus shouted, "Come forth" into Lazarus' tomb and the dead man came forth and lived again, the text says that Jesus was "deeply moved in spirit." But the Greek for this phrase is much more forceful than this. The literal meaning is that Jesus was furious, likened to a raging bull with flaring nostrils who is about to rush, attack, and trample its prey under its heavy and insurmountable feet. That is who Jesus is concerning death. He is not passive. Far from it, he is an angry trampling bull who will trample over death and restore all that is his that has been lost. The Bull of Heaven has big, heavy, stampeding feet. The Lion of Judah has piercing, death-defying teeth. And defy death, he has. And defy death, he will.โ
