How now?

Dear Friends,
After telling you that I would not be able to access the blog, and that Thomas was the blog master - and I am still grateful, Thomas - I have moved to the church building, and I have the ability to write here! The rooms are spacious, and comfortable - and I gain about 2 hours of what would otherwise be travel time each day. So, I have space and more time. This is a large gift that I have received today.

So, this morning happened. It was good.

There is much behind those two sentences, and I am not sure yet how to give words to it. But gratitude and love and openness and questing and God's amazing grace are some of the words. And stories. Many stories bursting to be told, to be listened to, comforted, healed, redeemed, affirmed, encouraged. As I write this, I can see the faces behind the stories that you cannot - but let me tell you, the faces are beautiful. They are beautiful.

Sending love,
Peace,
Mary

Mary, Mary. Your blog is such a blessing!

Two sentences speak a lot in what you didn't say. So many teachers I hear say "Got through that one. Glad it's over."

Your messages speak of peace, trust, love, and wonder. I love the wonder part.

Grace!
