God unseen,
But not unknown,
You redeem,
And atone,

…for domestic abuse?
Michelle’s sisters brought their Wii with them to Pennsylvania. They leave tomorrow. We will be sad to see it–I mean them–go. 
I didn’t play a lot of video games growing up. I always tell people, in a slightly self-righteous air, that we read books and played outside. The truth is, we could never afford Atari or Nintendo or […]

On the way down to the beach Saturday, Michelle put in Shane and Shane’s cd “Psalms.” I have not listened to it for a long time, and forgot how much I love it.
Psalms is by far my favorite Shane and Shane cd.
