Here one sister celebrated sixty years of her profession. I preached about Emmental cheese. It must age and mature; the holes in it are so mysterious. In our old age, the solid part in it, our business, becomes less useful; those holes grow larger until they become spaces. God needs spaces in us, not just small holes, as is the case with Emmental cheese.
