I'm back, maybe.

It has been many long years since I last posted anything here.  We have moved, added two members to our family, walked through depression, and major transitions, and said goodbye to many friends.  Life looks very different now.  It is a beautiful, messy, noisy life.  Our home is filled with people and laughter and tears and food and crumbs and dishes and long-nights and early mornings.  God is at work here, just as he is at work in your neighborhood.  I hope to write more now but, as I said in my very first blog post in 2009, so now I will say again:  I can't make any promises.  Many things and people come first; they have dibs on my attention.  But I hope to write for the glory of God.  I would love to encourage others as they walk with the Lord and care for the people in their lives.  I hope it will be so.  At any rate, I'm glad you found me.  My prayer is that this will be a source of encouragement and hope, even if only sometimes.
