i woke up a 5 this morning with a thought that i still haven't been able to put into words. at least not the right words. so frustrating. (why can't i pull out poems or smart lines out of my hat like my dad or Ben etc...!?) i was thinking after p matti preached on the closeness of eternity- he pretended he was holding a tiny veil between 4 fingers and holding it as close to him as possible, saying: that's how close to us eternity is. Thought provoking.
I thought, time is calculated by light. Light casts shadows. When we enter the world, we enter time and automatically a shadow follows us til we die. That silouhette there on the ground is an ever present reminder of where/what we came from, of how fleeting life is and of what we go back to.
One day every man is united to his shadow in one last embrace with the temporal and dusty element and then .... eternity.
That night we heard that aunt Carly had passed away. oh to be received into the blissful eternity of God's presence!
Adventures in Istanbul, Turkey as a family of 2, then on to Zambia, Africa as a family or 3 then 4, and now soon to be 5!

Though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death we fear no evil for the light of the world is with us.
