Grace to the max The first reading was from 1 Timothy 1:12-17 in which Paul is explaining how Jesus took the worst of Paul and showed overflowing mercy to him and all sinners. When we got to the “Hymn of the Day,” we sang, “A maxing grace.” Paulette Goytowski Grafton, Ohio


Tempted & grateful When the gospel reading centered on the temptation of Jesus by the devil in the desert, pastor noted that today we often think of temptation as either lust or scrumptious des- serts.
