A Hannah Celebration

-

Our daughter, Hannah, turns 11 years old today! What a happy celebration! As I write this morning, the Monkey Bread is already in the oven.
We snapped this picture a few weeks ago, while passing through the little village of Hanna, Indiana on Route 30. Turned it into an ice cream stop.
What a lucky kid -- identical double digits -- and she has a town named after her. I've never yet found a town named "Mark."

    Happy Birthday from the Argots of Martinsville. When we first moved here James used to say Mark Martin drives in Martinsville. I do know there are several places called Dale.

If This Is Not A Place. . .

If this is not a place where tears are understood, Then where shall I go to cry? And if this is not a place where my spirit can take wings, Then where shall I go to fly? I don't need another place for trying to impress you With just how good and virtuous I am. I don't need another place for always being on top of things; Everybody knows that it's a sham. I don't need another place for always wearing smiles, Even when it's not the way I feel. I don't need another place to mouth the same old platitudes; Everybody knows that it's not real. So if this is not a place where my questions can be asked, Then where shall I go to seek? And if this is not a place where my heart cry can be heard, Where, tell me where, shall I go to speak? So if this is not a place where tears are understood, Where shall I go, where shall I go to fly? -- Ken Medema

Apostles and Earrings

I wonder if this belonged to one of the apostles? Simon the Zealot strikes me as the kind of guy who would wear an earring. I recall the time, when I was graduating from seminary, I received an invitation to start a new congregation in a college town. In the letter, they outlined the vision, the demographics of the community, and their expectations for the pastor. The letter ended with a p.s. -- "and of course, your wife will not be permitted to wear earrings." They forgot say anything about ME wearing earrings. For a while, I was tempted to go ahead, take the position, and get my ear pierced.
