| a weekly capturing the contentment in everyday life |
For some reason I forgot to post this a couple Thursdays back. It's semi-old news, but still full of contentment!

CSA
At the risk of sounding like a broken record, I can't stop talking about our CSA veggies. I mean, have you seen anything prettier than this?

we're having a wedding!
It's getting real. This just showed up in our mailbox, and I'm pretty sure we'll be available January 2nd (just kidding). It's been pretty fun to be a fly on the wall this summer while Alex and Rebekah dream and scheme all sorts of wedding plans.

this girl's camp skills
We miss her, but we're so happy that she's living in her element all summer. Each morning I scour the daily photos posted by Mapleridge Ranch. Every once in awhile I get a delightful glimpse of our girl doing what she does best.

weekly worship at Christ Church
"Might flames of fire actually fall from the sky and transport us into a new dimension of intimacy with Father, Son and Spirit -- and please, God -- with each other in the room -- and Lord, have mercy -- with hurting, desperate neighbors so in need of miraculous healing, let diseases and demons and death be gone. And the silence is a sort of time outside of time in which we anticipate and imagine and listen for our orders. And, hearing no new instructions, we take up again the mantle of praise and we sing -- what our Church mothers and fathers taught us -- the truth that we did not make, but instead makes us:
A reflection I wrote a few weeks back on real (vs. idealized) worship services: Monday morning thoughts: dancing bear act, crash helmets and a Doxology
- Praise God, from Whom all blessings flow;
- Praise Him, all creatures here below;
- Praise Him above, ye heav’nly host;
- Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost."
Have you captured any contentment this week?
I'd love to hear about it!
