A Quote
Imagine yourself as a living house. God comes in to rebuild that house. At first, perhaps you can understand what He is doing. He is getting the drains right and stopping the leaks in the roof and so on; you knew that those jobs needed doing and so you are not surprised. But presently He starts knocking the house about in a way that hurts abominably and does not seem to make any sense. What on earth is He up to?
The explanation is that He is building quite a different house from the one you thought of - throwing out a new wing here, putting on an extra floor there, running up towers, making courtyards. You thought you were being made into a decent little cottage; but He is building a PALACE. He intends to come and live in it Himself.
-C. S. Lewis {Mere Christianity}

we are back from our week in the mountains. it was so nice to visit my mom and dad. we climbed a mountain, ate great food and enjoyed the sights and sounds of fall. the weather was just perfect. a few morning we woke up to 34 degree weather.

beth and emma even made a fairy house in the woods. it was a special week.
