For the past four days we have all been home together weathering a snow/ice storm. Blessedly it was not a bad storm and no one we know lost power (which is a huge problem in our area during any sort of severe weather. We live in the land of Many Trees.) Even though we had barely returned to school from Thanksgiving break, this unexpected break saved my sanity on so many levels. Primarily it gave ... View Post

10-11 “Yes, God’s Message: ‘You’re going to look at this place, these empty and desolate towns of Judah and streets of Jerusalem, and say, “A wasteland. Unlivable.

September has been one of those months when everything collided, but knock on wood, the busiest parts are behind me and things may just slow down to a steady trot instead of a marathon of sprints. Even though this month has been intense, it has ... View Post
Epiphany

All three of them had a dream that said steer clear of Jerusalem, as if they needed to be told. Besides, none of their old maps worked anymore. They would find a new way home. So the wise men picked up their packs, wich were lighter than ... View Post
