prayer time

This morning I walked up this road to spend some overdue time in prayer.
Psalm 30:6 raised the question in me, "What is it like when we are not secure (v.6)?" We are silent, and we have no song (v.12). The promises of God are all reversed: we can't see the mountain (v.7), and our weeping seems like a lifetime (v.5).

It reminded me of when Noah woke up in the morning after we first moved to Tirol when he was 3 years old. The day before the mountains were beautiful like you can see here, but in the morning they were all covered by the clouds, and he could only say, "mountains all gone."

Did the clouds change his security? They sure changed his perception.

family sherades

We visited Reinhild's family over new years. Our kids played sherades and made us guess their acts. I just downloaded the pictures off of my camera and forgot I had taken these photos. Send me a reply if you can guess what they are acting!
