Fertility In A Fallen World: My Story Continues
August 7th, 2014 by Aubri
Trusting God with procreation comes at a very high cost. I’ve grilled myself on this subject for hours, days, years asking some hard questions.
I sit down with all of your stories, I stand in a room or on the curb in the cold night with some of you ladies and I listen to your words. I see your tears, I hear the fear and regret in your voices and I’m still left with a whole lot of hard questions.
That high cost is different for all of us. The stories you all have shared with me have shown me so many sides of the struggle with this issue.
For all our attempts to control procreation, for all our fears of having too many babies or none to ever hold at all, I’m learning that we know nothing. We are nothing.
Procreation is God’s business. He has given us a very small part.

Phil just can’t say no to a good Fun Run.
He attacked it again in a town next to us and ran the 5K with the Baby Train as usual.
He’s become famous for this you know.
Coming across the finish line and just about clobbered this boy who was not paying any attention to Fun Run he was in the middle of.
And we had a Champ!
Phil finished first in his age group 18-39yo, 3 miles in 23 minutes!
Woot!
Joseph of Arimathea – July 31
August 6th, 2014 by Aubri
July 31st the church remembers Joseph of Arimathea.
“Joseph of Arimathea came, a prominent member of the Council, who himself was waiting for the kingdom of God; and he gathered up courage and went in before Pilate, and asked for the body of Jesus. Pilate wondered if He was dead by this time, and summoning the centurion, he questioned him as to whether He was already dead. And ascertaining this from the centurion, he granted the body to Joseph. Joseph bought a linen cloth, took Him down, wrapped Him in the linen cloth and laid Him in a tomb which had been hewn out in the rock; and he rolled a stone against the entrance of the tomb. Mary Magdalene and Mary the mother of Joses were looking onto see where He was laid.” Mark 15:43-47
