We've had nearly seven inches of rain since it started raining on Friday. Our pond which on Thursday was very low is now very high. We needed rain, but maybe not this much . . .
{Pretty}
Last week, the AALC held its biennial convention on the campus of the University of Northwestern in St. Paul, MN. The campus is beautifully situated and meticulously kept! A sample~

The chapel was beautiful and awe-inspiring, as were the divine services held there. Worshiping in spaces that witness to and confess the beauty and awesomeness of God is like eating from the good china. The food may be the same and may be just as nutritious, but it will taste better and the meal will be more uplifting because of it.

My husband completed his seminary degree (an M.A. in theology, which is his second master's~ the first was in classical languages) and received his final ordination. It was a big day for him! We are both happy he reached these milestones.

During breaks and off-hours, Dave and I manned a table promoting Wittenberg Door, the campus ministry Dave is working to establish at the university. People at the convention were very encouraging and receptive of the idea of Wittenberg Door. Now that seminary is over, he will be able to devote more time and energy to reaching out to college students with the Gospel. The article Leila posted at Like Mother, Like Daughter spells out clearly some of the hurt and confusion young people are living with today due to the effects of the sexual revolution. Please pray with us that God will use Wittenberg Door to bring forgiveness, healing, and wholeness to lost young men and women.
{Funny} and {Real}?
One of the roofers at the college paused in his work to send a text. The way the workers would blithely walk back and forth on the ridgepole made my heart stop!
