“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)

I could

I could post lovely photos of proud, smiling first-deer boy-hunters. Or adorable 13 mos and wearing anything she can find as a "hat". Or the naked tree waiting in our mudroom for tomorrow. Or the funny spackled, sanded, scrubbed-too-hard with Ruby's washcloth (should I start over?) spots all over my walls.

I could speak profound about daily disciplines (or lack) and plans for early mornings with Jesus and sweet whispered prayers with Anna and the hopes I have. And the angst I have for a won't-be-found lamb.

Nope. Going to go sit on the couch with my husband. Well, I'll try. The stupid couch is not accommodating for both of us. Ooops, complaining about that again. What I meant to say is, I will go spend a purposefully undistracted Saturday night with my perfectly-crafted husband and say Praise the Lord it is Sabbath - I will gleefully take it! Rest for the weary.
