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

Temps could reach 65 today. Yee haw!

Watched the Gopher womens bb team get clubbed like helpless baby seals by UConn last night. They gave it a good try, and kept making the game close, but UConn always had an answer, and they clearly have the best player in the country. The game though was a reminder of why I don't like women's basketball. The Gophers have two good players, but after that, their players look awful at times. They throw up shots that don't come near the rim, or bounce off like bricks. At this level, you'd think the players would look better. In the men's game, you don't get players that look like you and me out there, but with the women, I could get out there and keep up. So, the nice story has come to an end.

I'm about 200 pages into War and Peace. Only 1200 to go. Erk.

Thursday we head up to ND for the Easter weekend. For at least a week now, at bedtime John keeps saying "I want my Grandpa and Grandma." We've told him we're going up there, and I think he's looking forward to it.

John woke up in the night twice last night. One time I went in there, and I think he was just cold. He didn't have any covers on him, so I covered him up again, and he went right back to sleep.

Both John and Hanna can say John 3:16! Or most of it. I guess Rhonda has been working on that with them. I didn't know that, and they said it for me last night! Wow. I was just having Hanna say "Praise the Lord". I've been too easy on her.
