Happy TWO Month Anniversary!

HAPPY 2 MONTH ANNIVERSARY TODAY!  photo of Taylor on an amazing hike we did in early September with the quote that I keep turning over and over in my mind as our summer came to an end...  a few reflections I put together after the hike pictured above that I hope resonates with you both... May you have a moment of gratitude for the wonder and wildness that you all get to do life together.  A Morning Blessing  Today is new, O God. Sometimes life flashes before me, and I wake to the gift that  this  day is. I realize—I get to be here. I get to be in the chores, in the errands, in the ordinary unfolding of hours. And I notice— the colors, the air, the sheer grace of being alive. “This is the day that the Lord has made.” If You made this day, if you intended me to wake up into it, then there is purpose already here. Thank You for the gift of this new day— for bringing me safely through the night, for bringing  us  safely to this moment. Help me not tak...

Happy FIVE Month Anniversary!

He says,  “Bear fruit worthy of repentance.” Not just words, but a life that tastes like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, self-control— fruit that brings shalom in the brokenness of our world.  Jesus, we need you to come— to sweep the corners, clear the decks, till the soil, so that there is space to grow. O come, O come, Emman...

Happy THREE Month Anniversary

   Madeleine and Steven- This is a Nike ad that I remember from the early nineties.... The last part (act) is one of my all-time favorites... Hope this makes you smile today on your three-month anniversary. CHEERS TO 132,480 minutes of marriage together!  Hope you love it and get goosebumps from it just like I do. Falling in Love in Six Acts A passion play (Or what happens when you fall down that long well of passion over a person, a place, a sport, a game, a belief, and your heart goes boom and your mind leaves town.) Act I LUST (I think I love you. Who are you anyway?) Here it is, the big “wow,” the big “gee,” the big “yesyesyes” you’ve been waiting for. This is where you find  something  or someone and believe they are better, greater, cuter, wiser, more wonderful than anything you have ever known. Lust isn’t a sin, it’s a necessity, for with lust as our guide we imagine our bodies moving the way our bodies were meant to move: we can do marathons with ou...
