red onion

To the Holy Spirit
by Wendell Berry

O Thou far off and near, whole and broken,
Who in necessity and bounty wait,
Whose truth is light and dark, mute tho spoken,
By Thy wide grace show me Thy narrow gate.


Grace and Peace,
Jane

sweet onion

I wrote this quote down a few weeks ago and have been thinking about whether it's true or not.

"Everything difficult indicates something more than our theory of life yet embraces."
- George MacDonald as quoted in the book Disappointment with God by Yancey.

Grace and Peace,
Jane

daffodil

"For I am the Lord, your God,
who takes hold of your right hand
and says to you,
Do not fear; I will help you."
Isaiah 41:13
Grace and Peace,

cookies for terry

The week before Christmas I made a bunch of cookies for the memorial service of my friend Terry. It was a strange juxtaposition of emotions for me to be making these when usually one is making Christmas cookies and all. Terry will be missed and treasured in our hearts forever.
Grace and Peace,
Jane
