bulls in china shops

In our rushing, bulls in china shops, we break our own lives...


I am currently immersed in "One Thousand Gifts" by Ann Voskamp.  

Immersed:  to plunge or dip into a fluid.

"Fluid" nearly describes this poetic revelation of Eucharisteo.

Eucharisteo:  to give thanks.

And fluid it is. 

Her words are like water;  the meaning of the words even deeper.
If you want a good book to read and you want life to slow down a little, pick up this book.  You won't regret it. 

Summer Bliss

In the middle of Winter, my mind escapes to carefree Summer days...

Days of running barefoot in the grass...

Days of windows rolled down, belting out your favorite song...

Days with afternoons that roll by slowly...

 Summer brings such peace to the soul;  almost as if it whispers, "everything is going to be okay..."

 So Summer, this one's for you.


For the water fights you've encouraged over the years;


The days at the beach,

The barbecues,
The lazy afternoons,
The lemonade, 
The camp outs,
The invitation to go barefoot,
The picnics,
The morning runs...




Thank you~
