Martin Luther was in a pub, drinking beer and discussing theology. Someone asked him, "If the world was ending tomorrow, what would you do?"
Luther said, "I would plant a tree."
Today, people are dying from a strange new virus. The story above inspires me to pull myself away from fear and anxiety, and to reflect on my belief that the world is infused with the will toward life, and that creation is essentially good. Planting a tree, an act of hope, affirms that. God is still here.
I will now go and plant my metaphorical trees.
