There was a graveside service today for a longtime member of the church. Oakwood Cemetery is the loveliest around. Later I was reflecting on John McNeil’s description of the human soul: “The soul is the essence of human personality. It is related to the body, but it is not a mere expression or function of bodily life. It is capable of vast ranges of experience and susceptible of disorder and anguish; but it is indestructible and endowed with possibilities of blessedness within and beyond the order of time.”
