so im back from NYC with the 9th grade and 30 other chaperones from my school… I had two awesome duties which gave me time for contemplation… one was at the MET where I always hang out in the Greek and Roman rooms most of the time… then I took the elevator up to a different gallery and found THIS PAINTING of seekers of deity… did you click and go??? This pic on your computer does not enable you to study the depth of this painting… but you can get a glimpse… I was struck by the people… I really sensed that they were seeking truth… I thought of Sarajevo and Istanbul where I have seen this in real life and I wrote in my journal that they would meet the real God of Grace through his Son who brings Peace. may we all find Peace through Grace

rain
we are getting lots of rain in the ‘ville and I am SOOO thankful… I remember ’02 when we couldn’t use water in the sinks at school and they gave us hand sanitizer… that stuff is SO GROSS, you just de-bug the dirt on your hands – yuk. I remember that the FIRST thing I’d do when I went home was wash my hands to get the gunk off… thanks be to God for this wonderful rain that is filling the ponds, lakes and water tables!

faith needs feeding
“The first step is to recognise the fact that your moods change. The next step is to make sure that, if you have once accepted Christianity, then some of its main doctrines shall be deliberately held before you your mind for some time every day. That is why daily prayers and religious reading and church-going are necessary parts of the Christian life. We have to be continually reminded of what we believe. Neither this belief nor any other will automatically remain alive in the mind. It must be fed.” C.S.Lewis – Mere Christianity (Book 3, Chapter 11, para. 6)
