This is when the big event begins – finally. Tomorrow Grace goes to the hospital to be induced. From there I guess we will wait and see what developes. A c-section may be needed. She is a bit scared. Keep her in your prayers.

Happy Halloween!
Dixie posts about getting ready for Haloween with her kids. I have some good memories of costumes too. Most involve other people wearing them. My self consciousness always made me feel a bit stupid dressing up. We had the most fun ever at Haloween when we lived in the Congo. That is until some pious [...]

Still, we are…
Waiting. I told her she could have it anytime now since I am off work for the next few days. She never did listen! Actually she is a bit mad at me right now I think – I am pretty sure.

Blue meets Maisy – Oh No!

Holy Listening by Margaret Geunther
I recently finished reading Holy Listening by Margaret Guenther. I found this through a reference to it in another book I read recently Sacred Companions by David Benner.

Remembering
Four years ago, Oct 17th, Logan Mathew Alexander Lanoie-McEwan died in the arms of his parents. Two days old. We were all there together. Peace to his memory. He helped join two families together. That part of our lives cannot be undone. Lord have mercy on us. Grant us more of your healing today.

Friends
Today – lots of good conversation, laughter, food. Being with friends. It is one of God’s ways of letting us know we are cared for. Thank you God for friends.

Psalm 107
Again and again the Psalms provide me with words from God that I need for the day. Psalm 107 (NLT) Give thanks to the LORD, for he is good! His faithful love endures forever. Has the LORD redeemed you? Then speak out! Tell others he has saved you from your enemies. For [...]
