March 1

With Isaac down for the count with a fever and me slated to serve communion this morning, I took Abby and Brady to church solo. As I stepped outside and looked up at the sky, I was struck --as I often am-- by how beautiful it was.

As a non-native Californian, there are plenty of things that I don't like about living here, but the weather is most definitely not one of them. It was a blessing to start out a brand new, possibility-filled month with such a lovely day. (And as a little bonus, it put me into a frame of mind that allowed me to get a lot out of the church service, too.)
