The River of Loss A sermon by Rev. Fred Small First Parish in Cambridge, Unitarian Universalist February 26, 2012 Our reading this morning is from the Gospel according to People magazine, the sixth of February, 2012, beginning on the 54th page.

The engagement ring was equally jaw- dropping: a yellow diamond weighing in at more than 10 carats. After they wed in May 2005 on a beach in Costa Careyes, Mexico, the two renewed their wedding vows on every anniversary with a spectacular party ranging from a masquerade ball to an ’80s-themed get-together. “I don't know why I got so lucky,” Klum said of meeting her Mr. Right. “I have to pinch myself often and say, ‘Is this just a dream?’” At the November 2007 Victoria's Secret fashion show, the pair performed “Wedding Day,” a song Seal wrote about their own nuptials. “Family, my wife and children, that's my reason for being,” he said.
