Even though the guy at the iphone store promised the device would make all my dreams come true, I've found it won't blog and I'm tired of those darned tiny buttons. Thoughts round-up:
There's nothing more boring than being trapped in mingling where everyone is travel bragging-- dropping names of countries they've stepped foot in like it's a hint of a relationship with a celebrity. The art of storytelling is a gift I hugely admire. I was amazed to hear my friend Dan could tell way better stories about a client's crazy, cluttered house (think huge amounts of art and half-dresed child) than anything I've heard of Costa Rica. I confess to not always being a great conversationalist. Sometimes I just want to work with people-- create something from our hands side-by-side instead of trying to think of another clever thing to say or ask. I loved that aspect of L'Abri since my school work is so solitary.
I had a dream last night where I was the Queen of Acorns. That's all on that topic.
Back to conversation. I got together with 3 teacher friends this morning to walk and eat and pray. This prayer was so sweet and deep and long-needed. The whole year of small group gatherings meant less than this hour of no-hurry and listening and hearing. I'm so blessed to know these women who really hear God. Hoping you hear today too!

I know someone who blogs from her iphone. ? I don't blog, and my iphone is broke, so I can't help ya there, sorry!
Ok, I have woken up the past 2 mornings to Jennifer Knapp's Martyrs & Thieves part "Can you hear me?" And there has been a sacred echo (Have you read that book by Margaret Feinberg?)this past week...it's been the same echo for the past 4 years. Anyway, that song was 1 God used to get my attention 4 years ago.
I'm not as smart as your iphone blogging friend. I'll have to look into that. I'm curious to know more about your sacred echo. Hope your summer is going well!
