Has it occurred to you what a strange and wonderful thing you've just done? Sitting in a room looking at a piece of glowing glass and pressing plastic keys and touching the minds and hearts of thousands of human beings you've never met physically but who know you, after a fashion? To touch the minds and hearts of human beings is to contemplate the work of God - in the midst of pain there is comfort, in the midst of suffering, redemption, and if no single one of us can offer you the full measure it is because we are not gods ourselves, but at our very best merely little tools of His will, and, I hope, conductors of His love. Take heart.
