I am seemingly unable to throw off guilt feelings concerning some family traumas which happened over 10 years ago. At the time, illnesses called for quick decisions in areas which were hitherto unknown. I asked for the Lord’s guidance and at the time was able to commit it, saying, “I have done the best that I know at this time.” Now memories haunt me that I could have and should have taken other avenues.

I have been very surprised to notice in the Apostles’ Creed in our new hymnal, “Worship in Song,” that the phrase “He descended into hell” has been left out. Why was this statement of belief omitted?
