It was a gorgeous Sunday, just right
.
I got up around 7am and spent at least three hours without anyone else getting out of bed. It was calm and quiet. Sausage and eggs and cheese for breakfast. My wife is using a local farm co-op to get some amazing food, a whole box of it for cheap. She got a few bundles of asparagus. That’s good stuff and brings back a lot of good memories of Oregon. It grows wild in the orchards there and we would go out as a family on the weekends to pick it.
.

I visited my home teaching families today, which is always an uplifting experience. It’s great to get interwoven with others lives, to strengthen the community.
.

Then off to church. Just the older kids today. Tamie is still staying home with the baby, to reduce exposure to various bugs. We had a substitute Sunday School teacher. She was really something else, so engaging and down to earth.
.

As usual I have a lot of things on my mind, but I’m afraid it’s creeping up on 11pm and I’m just going to call it a night.
.

I have a hard time expressing religious/spiritual ideas because all the words I might use are already loaded with pre-conceptions.
.

Is there a downside to life? Not really. I’m grateful. The kids are a joy. Exasperating sometimes, but toootally worth it.

I am very excited to get back to work tomorrow. I have the regular giant pile of emails that has accumulated over the weekend. But don’t get me wrong. I love it.
