It feels to me as though our whole world is pining for truth and justice and an end to strife. We're not there yet, and won't be until Jesus comes again. In the meantime, this Christmas season brings us hope and a glimpse of what's to come.

This was the tallest rock I had ever tried to rappel off, the double rope heavy in my hands. But I was ready to go.
I've had many happy and exciting moments in my life. Falling in love. Getting married. Having three wonderful children, one in heaven. I've climbed mountains, scrambled up rock faces. Crossed the Columbia River Bar and fished in the ocean. Flown in small airplanes with my late husband and son. Snorkeled in the Coral Sea, jumped waves in the Indian and the Pacific Oceans, to name just a few of my adventures...

There will be toasts to the bride and groom. Gifts given. And a hearty farewell as the bride and groom escape to their honeymoon and begin their life together.
I pray you will have a long life together. That you will blend into a beautiful new family. That both of you will honor your vows until one of you leaves this earth.
It was a stinging experience, but I remembered that earlier prayer and the answer God gave me.
