"The birth of the child into the darkness of the world made 

possible not just a new way of understanding life,

 but a new way of living it."

Frederick Buechner

Lighting the Love candle at dinner

These two would like some dinner too, please.

Have I mentioned how much I love the chalk marker that Kenzie gave her dad for his birthday?  He regularly draws pictures and writes notes to me on the bathroom mirror.

What a blessing to have three of the kids here to help.

"You have as much laughter as you have faith."

" It is no use for you to attempt to sow out of an empty basket,

 for that would be sowing nothing but wind."

"How would your perspective on the dailyness of life change

if you could see that "here" is holy?

"A prison cell, in which one waits, hopes...

and is completely dependent on the fact that the 

door of freedom has to opened from the outside,

is not a bad picture of Advent."

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
