in our english class senior year, eric stillman wrote a poem about heaven and front porches. i wish i could remember exactly how it went, but for now coffee and an old rocker on this rainy morning are heaven enough.

it is a new thing to listen to the spirit of God inside me. i decided this morning not to go to brooklyn to spend time with good friend tami. it's hard to give up this chance to see a close friend, but the peace of God calls me to sit still in this house as m and m are away.

thanks to covenant community for reaching out to love a sister.
