weather
I just snapped this picture of my dear man getting ready to grill some meat for supper.
Notice how the bright sun overexposed his face? Notice how squinty-eyed he is? Could you guess that just five minutes—FIVE minutes—before I took this picture we stood on the porch watching pea-sized hail fall from the heavens? That in […]

four gens
Tonight we had another family get together. My face hurts from all the laughter. You get Pete and John started, and that’s what we do. I’d try to tell you what was so funny but I could never pull it off.
This was a Williams gathering that included four generations. I’ve shown you pictures of MomEdna […]

indeed!
When I get to heaven, I think God will let me plan an Easter service. Actually, I think heaven will be one continual Easter service. This morning we were invited to illustrate expressions of joy similar to what those who witnessed the empty tomb might have uttered. And then we got to speak the liturgy: […]

You’re hooked too, aren’t you? Maybe you can help me figure out what intrigues […]

to err is human
I love being human and I prove my humanity every day of my life. Today I became acutely aware once again that I am indeed human. I have spent the entire week printing, collating, punching, and binding the 2008 church directory. Yes, I know, it is March and I’m finally getting around to doing the […]

foretaste
We’ve reserved our week at The Iona Community, we’ve purchased our plane tickets, our passports are in our hot little hands, and now it’s time for the nitty gritty planning. When we mentioned to our friends David and Carol Sherwood that we plan to travel to Scotland and England in June, they immediately suggested an […]

freedom through gratitude
Mauri’s brother, Howard, flew to Chicago last October to be interviewed on a TV show. We heard a little bit about it when he returned, but today I became aware of a site with more thorough coverage. I appreciated reading it and maybe you will too.

that’s my king!
Last Sunday in worship Steve shared this video with us. One viewing wasn’t nearly enough for me, so I found it on YouTube to watch again and give you the experience too. The audio recording dates back to 1976, but the message is timeless.
