The Hebrew sense of mercy and justice is the notion that God, and we by extension, is in the business of putting all things to right....To live out this biblical calling takes a great deal of hard work and prayerful interchange with others....The apostle Paul offers us additional help in his first letter to the church at Corinth, which includes a beautiful description of what it means to live as a community of people whose highest callings are to love and be known as well as to know.

Katherine started back to school at the beginning of August to give us some wiggle room for field trips and time to visit her older siblings who keep moving farther and farther away.
Our neighborhood held a banana split party as an opportunity to get to know a new family that just moved in. We have such amazing neighbors!
And Olivia came to visit for a few days, so she got to meet the new neighbors, too.
I'm so grateful for our shared back yards and for people who value community.
Having my gym buddy back for a few days was a delight,
as was hearing more music in the house again.
Olivia's spunky personality brightened up lunch with Grandma and encouraged each of us before she drove back to JBU to begin her sophomore year.
