Peace Like A River


It was a wide river, mistakable for a lake or even an ocean unless you'd been wading and knew its current. Somehow I'd crossed it... Now I saw the stream regrouped below, flowing on through what might've been vineyards, pastures, orhards... It flowed between and alongside the rivers of people; from here it was no more than a silver wire winding toward the city. - Leif Enger, Peace Like A River

Around the end of the Democratic Convention in late July, the Weekly Standard had a couple of crossword puzzles on their website. The first one to fax in a correct entry (so, two winners) would get a free (year-long, I believe) subscription to the magazine. The second one appeared on late Friday afternoon, just as I was leaving, so I quick finished it, using Google to find the answers I didn't know. The questions were related to the Convention, or politics. Since I saw it just as it was posted, almost, and I sent it back in quickly, I thought I had a decent chance of getting a subscription, but never heard anything from them. Till last week. I got a copy of the magazine in the mail with a note attached saying my free subscription would start soon. Woohoo! And just in time for the final election coverage too.

A gorgeous day yesterday too. I took Hanna to church with me last night, thinking the people who have that week in the nursery would be there, but they weren't. So, Hanna played at the playground for a bit, then had to go potty, so I took her back into the nursery, and she played in there the rest of the service. I just listened to the missionaries who were speaking over the sound system in there. John had fun having some time with Mommy. They played in the hammock, and were playing Candyland (the board game) when I came home. John likes to hunt through the deck for the cards he wants. heeyyyyy!

Vikes play Philly tonight. If the Vikes play as poorly as they did the first week, they are going to get creamed. Philly has a legitimate offense.
