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

Tonight at church is our quarterly business meeting. Which means the first one I get to run. Great. My favorite thing to do.

John didn't nap today. He's upstairs watching Thomas. Hanna is still sleeping. Rhonda will probably take them swimming while I go to the church.

The other day in the van John found the ark he had made last week in sunday school, and it must have had his name on it, because he said "I'm K. John", and then he said "I'm John K." Ha. There's another John his age, and so on his papers they always write "John K."

We went swimming Friday night. John is really coming along with his swimming. Rhonda got him a good pair of goggles, so he goes underwater, holds his breath, and even kinda sorta swims. He'll be a fish in no time. Hanna was having fun sitting in the shallow water and flopping backwards. I grabbed a little beach ball floating by and tossed it to her a couple times, but she brought it over to me and said "don't throw right now, I'm swimming". oh, beg your pardon!
