It might have been...

So, today I went to church and heard a sermon from one of my heroes of the faith...a gentle man, a prince among men, stately and tall in form and stature. He not only looms tall in physical height but also in spiritual height as well. He has a gentle heart but has been able to lay a foundation amidst turmoil for women in the Alliance.

It was a powerful message...not only in presentation....he beautifully went from John Greenleaf Whittier's poem, Maud Muller, into the Old Testament story of Saul's life, to the New Testament story of Saul of Tarsus....it was a beautiful word picture painted by one of the most gifted painters of my day....he is able to create a picture with words the way Michelango creates a picture with paint. It was elegant in form....but it was also powerful in content....

He ended the message with...."Of all sad words of tongue or pen, the saddest are these, 'It might have been.'" I am pondering those words....
