Building a Temple of Peace

I was out running an errand today and drove by a group of people walking into a nearby funeral home.

"Whenever we walk into a library I always stop, look at all the books and say, "Hello, Friends!" The girls have always found this silly, but this sweet little film made them understand why I do it -- by bringing the books to life. :)"

"Wonderful! Loved watching the girls slowly understand the hidden meaning in this story. (" Oh! The people are gray until the stories brings color to them!") Next in my queue of stories to get lost in: The Great Divorce by C.S. Lewis. :)"

"I love how she alludes to multiple Biblical characters and stories throughout, so as you read about each one the full backstory is swimming around in your head. The cross, the women, Peter, the thief, the cosmos, Moses, water from a…"

"Very well said, Sarah! I'd have to say that having my mother-in-law here has the same effect. It forces me to think twice about my words and actions... and what I'm serving for dinner."

You Can Call Me "Mom"

I'll be the first to admit it -- hosting international students can be a challenge. There are the obvious issues: more laundry, more shopping, more cooking, more homework, more scheduling. And the not-so-obvious issues: What should these kids call me? Am I a Mom, a friend, a guardian or just their driver?!We are currently hosting our 4th, 5th and 6th South Korean students, three wonderful sisters who have no idea that they are blessing me even more than I am blessing them.
