Another Indiana Winter, this is my 23rd. I moved here a few days after getting married on 12-28-85. Wow, life is surely full & overflowing with the mundane & the unexpected. I pray that I don't miss the beauty and the grace that God so faithfully laces in between. I am hoping that I won't let myself be so distracted by the stress of day to day chaos & catastrophe, so that the beauty of brokenness won't be completely lost on me. These minutes of watching them grow are So fleeting. My chest tightens as I realize that I have to take another step back in the process of letting them go; letting them grow.

           I have a house full of teen aged boys and dogs.(4 boys, 3 dogs, 1 husband & me) ...Just another example of God's sense of humor.

           ~Whoever, wherever, however you are ~my prayer for you is hope for the future, comfort for the past, & courage & peace for each new today.
