- Catherine of Siena
Mercy and justice do go together, don't they?
Some would see justice more in their reading of scripture, other's, mercy. Me? ... I'm analyzing how pearls are made ... a speck of dust and then layers ...
Definition of pearl: a hard roundish object formed within a soft tissue of a mollusk shell...
Something as ordinary as dirt, intruding and irritating, becoming something rare, fine, and beautiful.
The Kingdom of Heaven was compared to a pearl of great price, by Jesus. "Casting pearls before swine"? When do we know someone is unappreciative of the value and beauty of the gospel? When do we 'give up' on someone, give up on mercy?

I am so sorry to have to use word verification - I hate them myself. But I'm getting too many spam comments and this is supposed to eliminate them. Maybe this will just be needed for awhile . . .
