I welcome you into our home for a look at our days lately. There are seasons of life that make you feel as though you’ll never get back on your feet. This is mine.

I live minute to minute and so much can happen in a minute. I stand in the rushing current trying to find my footing and all around me…the deluge of life.

Not much is getting done. When I thought I had mastered the life skill of “not much getting done” it gets taken to a new level. I’m bristling under this new way of things and trying to figure out just what it is that’s making the days so much longer on stuff to get done and shorter on time to do it all.

It couldn’t be that I suddenly have 8 children and one of them is dear little Mercy could it? Hmm.

Holy Cross Day – September 14

September 14th is the Feast of the Cross.

“Although there will always be some question concerning the origins of Holy Cross Day, this festival invites an appropriate and salutary focus on the Cross as the means by which our Lord Jesus Christ atoned for the sins of the world, defeated death and the devil, reconciled the world to God, obtained our salvation and glorified the Father’s name. Though His Cross is a foolish scandal to the world, to us who are being saved it is the power and wisdom of God, unto salvation. For it is by His Cross that we are crucified, dead and buried with Him in Holy Baptism and in daily repentance, and from the same Cross that we receive the absolution or forgiveness of all our sins, by which we also rise with Christ unto newness of life.” source

Our sweet funny Esther started preschool last week here in town. We were happy to find an in home school for her to attend in the afternoon. She’s so bright and we really wanted her to have this opportunity to grow in her “studies.” She is loving it and finally feels so big getting to go to school like the other kids.
