rainbows

It's always cool to see a rainbow, and it's doubly cool to see two at once. This happens often at our house. Don't know why, but we think it's because we're so special... =) The end of this was literally on the ground in front of that tree on the right. No gold, but a sign full of hope and promise. Timely gift since Kev's having panic attacks from so many things happening at once: Ryan going to college AND getting screwed financially, stuff with Jylle, Brett having such a heavy work AND school load, going to a 7-period day this school year, buying more land, his ankle not healing, conjuring up imaginative ways to finance life... The stuff of life that makes it (sarcasm here) "such an adventure."

I read this morning from The Imitation of Christ by Thomas a Kempis: "If God were always the pure intention of our desire, we should not be so easily troubled." And this: "being inflamed with his love, we may transcend the narrow limits of human reason." There is the temptation to become overwhelmed, depressed, cynical, or panicky. Just knowing there is another way to be, a better way to endure, is our most lovely hope.
