The Melissa Worship Pose

In honor of my worship buddy being gone this past Sunday, I did the "Melissa worship pose". Love ya girl.


Props to Kathy for the pic.

Shuyokai

I attended Shuyokai this year - the Japanese family camp. It was so fun! I really appreciated the fullness of life that I found there.

o, J.P.... you do Venice so proud.

Seasons

Life has a funny way of reminding you how precious it is.

We have struggled with this little ball, this little pion of a something that changes everything. We struggle with Linda and her ball, that nasty little ball. We are all exhausted; spent from worry and fear, and mostly sadness.

And through all of it, we have life. Oh, the joy of life.

To everything there is a season,
a time for every purpose under the sun.
A time to be born and a time to die;
a time to plant and a time to pluck up that which is planted;
a time to kill and a time to heal ...
a time to weep and a time to laugh;
a time to mourn and a time to dance ...
a time to embrace and a time to refrain from embracing;
a time to lose and a time to seek;
a time to rend and a time to sew;
a time to keep silent and a time to speak;
a time to love and a time to hate;
a time for war and a time for peace.
ecclesiastes 3:1-8
