Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

A fairly quick meeting at church last night. Only one item of new business, and that was to confirm a couple of deacons in their new roles as treasurer and vice president. They weren't at the annual meeting, so waited till this meeting to finish that up.

Mom asked if John is doing good in his new class. He likes it, I know, but haven't really had much chance to observe him in there. He always seems to like seeing his sunday school papers when I ask him about them. One thing he might not be ready for yet, is they will take time to sit in circles and have a lesson or story or whatever, and I don't think John is ready yet to sit for "long" periods of time and quietly pay attention. He'll still tend to want to get up and wander.

When telling him he wasn't going to be in his old nursery room anymore, I said he was going to sunday school now with the big kids. So now, when he talks about sunday school, he'll often say "with the big kids!"

Was a wee bit chilly yesterday, probably won't be any warmer today and tomorrow as a cold front comes through. Hard to believe a week ago I was outside in shirt sleeves raking in mid-70s. Sigh.
