lessons for today

Mark 11
Colt - not broken, but bound. Bound with lots of knots: "knot" me, "knot" now... cords of doubt.
Why is it that we imagine that serving God is restrictive? It is our own will and our sin that is binding. Submission to God's will brings true freedom from bondage. Freedom brings peace.
It's a lesson I keep learning. I am not very adept at handling my own life. God is much better.
Jesus said to pray believing. Why do I think some situations, some people, are beyond possibility? Because I am a doubter. Because I am faithless. Because I cannot really comprehend with my tiny human mind, that God speaks things into existance.


Welcome to Tiego Keenan Kells, born Thursday, November 16th. Cutie Patootie! It will be nice to get to know him and big bro Matteo.

Krista's going-to-NZ party was Monday night at the Stewart's. Great party as always, but somehow, Lea, Robs and I ended up alone in the bedroom, perplexed over latest developments, gossiping in low tones, and completely giddy, as only females can be. There is something so comforting to me when the three of us are found in a little corner at the back of the house, far away from the din, and social rioting. It makes my day to know that although mothers, wives and in-search-of-self we may be, some things never change.
