Sometimes, emergencies are in the eye of the beholder.


Today I had to drive the youth group kids to the airport at 6:30 a.m. On the way home, I pulled onto the shoulder, turned on the emergency flashers, and picked some wildflowers. Because sometimes - when you're completely exhausted and a little low on hope - picking flowers can be an emergency.

Kaitlin's artistic debut



I told Kaitlin that I am inexplicably missing photos for two days. She provided this lovely picture for me!

"the story is:

well you had a dream and we were reunited and it was the best dream ever, and then we listened to joanna newsom so that's why there's all the purple bubbly things because those are like magic, and joanna makes life seem more magical."
