Discussions An interesting weekend and week for that matter. Sludged through another week at the office. Just trying to stay positive and show kindness to those around me. This week also played out with some thought provoking conversations with friends and new friends at that. It's good to discuss things with others, keeps me from thinking or acting in error. Celebrated Festivus with good friends on Saturday afternoon! And, what a celebration it was. The boys can cook. 26 pound turkey, stuffing, corn, green bean casserole, veggies, yams, potatoes (which technically is not the menu of Festivus). We will celebrate again next year! Also...had the chance to watch some excellent flicks this weekend too. My heart is broken over what occurred in Rwanda back in 1994. Tragedy such as this occurs more often then those of us in our sheltered American lives realize. Interesting to see how the interworkings of government and big business in the US can impact so many different people around the world. Globalization. Watched this in the theater on Festivus Night. One last flick...no real politic behind it but still well acted and intense. **Note: Please be praying for my brother, Nathan, as he travels from Tokyo to New York on the 13th.

Our Father Above This past weekend I had the wonderful opportunity to visit my good friends...Matt and Heidi...in Altoona, Pa. Heidi recently gave birth to their firstborn...Edith Noble Manfred. So, it was exciting to meet Edie and spend time with the whole family! It also seems that every time I visit the Manfreds, I'm inspired to write a blog entry! So, here you have it... How interesting to view the life of a newborn (Edie is nearly 6 weeks old) and see how fragile and dependent she is upon her parents. What a frail but important existence she endures. Her only goal in life right now is to eat, sleep and grow! Think of it, her only form of communication is crying or smiling. She can't tell you if she is hungry or in pain. What a job new parents have! (I'm praying for all of you who are parents and have found this a choppy and unguided road, at best.) What a picture of the gospel! How feeble and easily broken are our lives? Yet, our Father cares for us. He dwells in us. He sent His own son for us. Oh, how he holds us in His arms! Cleans us up after our messes. Holds our head up when we aren't strong enough. Such disgustingly unmerited grace. |
