Hallelujah

Diane shared this song with Josh and me tonight, touching my heart. It was a great holiday and most fun to spend time as a family together. We did all the things families should do, spend time together, talk, shop, share stories, play games, have family dinners and tonight in Diane’s way we worshiped togetherContinue reading “Hallelujah”

3 Wishes

All the dishes are washed and food put away. The turkey soup simmered on the stove in anticipation of being combined with the noodles. On the window ledge above the sink, was the most important tradition of the celebration of giving thanks.

You know what I am talkingContinue reading “Mistaken”

I Object!

The events of the day made me feel very thankful. It is our experiences in life that bring us the most meaning. Life can be a struggle even feel like you are suffering sometimes. It feels like you will never make traction on achieving your goals. It can even feel like the world is workingContinue reading “I Object!”

Bad peace

As I watch the world around me I can’t help but think how blessed Diane, Josh and my family are today. In the landscape of the horrible Paris attacks by ISIS it is almost impossible to wrap your head around 128 people dead in your city. We were out last night for dinner with friends.  TheContinue reading “Bad peace”
