This Weekend...


I was reminded of a simple truth.



"Though the world is ugly....









...it is beautiful."

Oh Ann Voskamp. Why do you always have just the right thing to say???

I'm glad you had a restorative weekend. Looks so beautiful!

I have another quote for you from servlife.org

"there is much beauty to resurrect in the world".

So glad to see your beautiful family in such beautiful surroundings. I hope it brought much refreshment to your family. I hope the staff was energized as well by their retreat.

PS You already have your next family Christmas photo - palm tree backdrop and everything.

Yes! isn't her book amazing? revolutionary? I am eating every word of it.

I want to see each common bush afire with God! Even the ugly, thorny ones.

I am a previous lurker, but I had to come out of hiding and admit that I love your blog. I love the inspiration, the compassion and the fright it creates for my future here on earth. And, as a caribbean enthusiast, I LOVE the beach pics. Many many blessings to your ministries.
