gathering days...seventy two
.
We had guests for dinner and the question came up, What is your nemesis? The thing that gets you every time?
The answers made us laugh and shiver.
“The rivers of grease at Krispy Kreme donuts, seriously, who can eat those?” one friend asked.
My husband didn’t miss a beat, “I can!”
From there it went around the table to snakes found in the kitchen,...
“And a softness came from the starlight
and filled me full to the bone.”
~ W. B. Yeats

“It is no small comfort to me to know that God has called me to my work, putting me where I am and as I am.
I have not sought the position, and I dare not leave it. He knows why He places me here-whether to do, or learn, or suffer.”
—J. Hudson Taylor
