September 19

At school this week, the kiddos made pinwheels for peace. It's a little hokey, but they do a good job writing their desires and wishes on those pinwheels, so at least they're thinking about ways to make the world a better place. And the wind today had them spinning quite nicely on (what's left of) the lawn by the school.

Although we live in precarious times, there's truth here: peace is possible. And one day, it'll be an actual reality rather than just an ideal. And to tie it back to God in tangible fashion.... He is the source of peace... and peace that passes all understanding. And that's something to be thankful for as we head into the weekend.
