Just re-discovering that I can blog straight from flickr... kinda cool. (I realized this once before when I had a Teach My People photo stream going, but it didn't stick)...
Enjoying a little more down time.... it's been a crazy week with Dad in the hospital. But as of today, three days and two stents later, he's home and healing!!
And Jeremy's been gone to Asheville all week (since Tuesday AM) for the Vineyard Worship Leaders' Retreat .... Miss him like crazy, but as he said on the phone last night, loving each other is so sweet, but it's nice to 'get it from the Source!' .....it sure is!! And I couldn't be more thankful for that!

Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. -Matthew 11:28-29, NIV

......thanks for listening/reading as I reflect, if you made it this far ;)
Pray you enjoy some downtime too...... ♥
