saturday mornings

friday evenings...
the start of the weekend
pizza
the couch
movie
falling asleep knowing the alarm clock won't go off

saturday mornings...
waking up slowly
tea and coffee
and a cookie
the Post
a new car in the garage
a giddy smile on his face

fear

stay joined to me and I will stay joined to you

john 15:3

Can you see the ripples in the water?

her tiny feet in rubber boots move the water...

the rock she throws creates ripples...

Have you ever thought about how where we stand causes change and waves?

Have you thought about how what we give or throw away makes ripples?

back

at the end of the day...

blessings are many!

three sure things

Life is hard.
God is merciful.
Heaven is sure.

mini-break

We can’t really experience a place until we do a couple things: intend to stay and then actually stay.

Our new house is feeling more like home.

Why?

Because you are here.

emmanuel

Every year Emmanuel means something different. Life peels back more layers and we’re left standing raw until they heal. But God coming down to this gritty, dusty, land of the dying makes every difference in our hope for living. 


He is with us. He is in us. He is here.
