Sleepovers

Our children have a whole slew of friends in Newton whom they miss terribly. How precious indeed that they were able to have two sleepovers recently. It was a tremendous gift to listen to them laugh, tell stories, jokes, and be goofy together with friends who could understand them completely.

Migration

Above the plains and prairie
Through the woodlands and hill country
Across the depths of water's body
Undeterred by storm or winds' ravaging,
The birds of migration press on.
Seasons end, time shifts, landscapes ebb and flow
like memories.
But, life, oh that persistent life to endure,
to return, lives on eternally
For as long as the beat of heart soars on the wings of hope.

Dan Grotewohl

Laughter shall drown the rauccous shout;
And though these shelt'ring walls are thin,
May they be strong to keep hate out.
And hold love in.

Lois Untermeyer, "Prayer For This House"
