I have had some lovely messages & conversations this week, via different media. Thank you to those who have been in touch.

One realizes the extent to which fellowship helps you carry heavy loads and make them feel just a little lighter. Not all contexts make those conversations possible, so they are even more special when they happen.

I’ll talk about a few of the takeaways from this week, but I’ll do so against a backdrop of something that I’ve mentioned before here on the blog… the lacemaking technique of tatting. As recently as January I mentioned that I was wanting to do a bit more… well, here’s what I’ve done since then…

I HOPE… (less)

I HOPE… (less)

I titled this post a couple of weeks ago. I didn’t have time to write it, but wanted to at least park the title as a means of, in a way, committing to its composition.

There were other titles that came to mind that particularly low day, but this was the most publicly acceptable one I could muster. So with Mozart, Brain Power in my ear, I feel a bit like David composing one of his Psalms (sort of… youll have to read to the end). Not one of the pretty ones, rather, one of the messier ones.

I’m in a season where, while not entirely hopeless, I do hope less…

  • If you don’t have time for a long post… I’d recommend reading it another time.
  • If you do have time for a long post… make sure the coffee’s hot!

Let’s go!

While you wait…

While you wait…

I made allusion, last week, to the fact that I’ve got a longer post coming. There are some things I’m mulling over and haven’t quite gotten there yet… it’ll be a bit of a “shout to the wind” post and I want to be half-wise coherent.

It’s been a bit of a watershed year and a half or so (Missions, indeed the life of Faith, isn’t always a cake-walk) … and we’re not out of the woods as yet.

While I’m working my way through that though… let me share with you our Saturday. It was a wonderful, feel good day in many ways and one that did me a whole lot of good, even though it involved a whole lot of waiting.

Post incoming…

Just a little photo-inspiration from my drive home last night.

This is Monts-sur-Guesnes, a sleepy little village about a 1/2 hour away from our house. I drive through it 4x/week and sometimes stop there to pray for the city as well as for our local Senator… an incredibly hardworking man who still works there as a pharmacist as well… when he’s not senatoring.

I’m working on a longer post… but it’ll be a bit of time coming. I just didn’t want to miss our weekly appointment!

Enjoy your coffee with views of Mont-sur-Guesnes!

God bless your Saturday!
