“God is not a belief to which you give your assent. God becomes a reality whom you know intimately, meet everyday, one whose strength becomes your strength, whose love, your love. Live this life of the presence of God long enough and when someone asks you, “Do you believe there is a God?” you may find yourself answering, “No, I do not believe there is a God. I know there is a God.” ~Ernest Boyer, Jr. (Thanks, Ann)

Good Night.

My sweet brave friend who is now a gypsy - traveling the country, going where her love goes, bringing her life and her babies and their what-we-can-carry with them - she has a blog. It is marvelous because she has always said wonderful things and now I can read them twice or three times if I want. Perhaps she will let me link there after this tribute to her.
Update: she did let me! Click on gypsy.

I am going to bed. I am 30 minutes late. I am resolved, my listening-to-Holy-Spirit-skills (I wish there were a way to automatically hyphenate - is there a way?) are hindered by my sleepiness. So, tomorrow is Saturday, a typically challenging day (we are all home together and expected to be harmonious - that is MY expectation - isn't that what families are supposed to be??!) and I will be ready.

Good night. And in honor of my self-discipline, I will share this adorable photo (from the summer time of shaggy-hairdo Isaac) of what I get to see in the morning (if no one turns the TV on - it is still within the official NO-TV-edict timeframe that I proclaimed after the official 2-weeks-with-sleepovers-at-grandparents-with-TV timeframe) - if I go to bed now and establish the wake-up-time-is-couch-time-with-Bibles-and-other-useful-books timeframe. See, I need a shortcut so I don't get carpal tunnel from making so many of -----
