Hopefully, this provides direction. Thursday, July 21, 2011.

But, for now, it is what it is.

Keep verses posted where I can see them. As reminders of how I want to live. Help someone else go first. Or make the phone call. In your hearts honor Christ the Lord as holy, always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you; yet do it with gentleness and respect. The words of a song. The smell of a pie.

What pattern, you might ask? The thing that sets McRan.

Exploring the intersections of life and faith. Three years ago, we moved to a sunny little neighborhood mostly void of trees, with a yard that had a perfect spot for a garden. Still, we were gone a lot during the summer and I never got that garden started. But this year, I was determined to grow. I tried starting with seeds, but that was a dismal failure. So, I went to a nursery and bought plants; lettuce, tomatoes and basil, and I planted them in containers. Good grief they are taking.
