Yes, I've been to Croatia and back, and lived to tell the tale. Actually, the miracle isn't that I lived, but that I still have a penny to my name. If Lexi had her way, I'd have four pairs of shoes instead of three...

Life in Missoula, Montana is sopping wet right now. Rain has been falling in a constant downpour since last night, drenching the ground and flooding the streets. I drove through a lake on my way home. Didn't know my Subaru could handle that kind of traffic...

"You are my Joy, You are my Joy, You are my Joy, You are my Joy!" (David Crowder, A Collision)

My Jesus, in you my joy has been made complete! You hold all of my days in your hands, setting each one and the events therein in order just as you have planned. I trust you to take me from strength to strength, from glory to glory, each moment of this new year.

"You prepare a table for me in the presence of my enemies;

You anoint my head with oil;
My cup runs over.
Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me
All the days of my life;
And I will dwell in the house of the Lord
Forever."
Psalm 23:5-6
