Wrappin' up my love this 24th anniversary...
When they blow Gabriel’s horn
Rip fiction from fact
I want to get caught
In some radical act
Of love and redemption
The sound of warm laughter
Some true conversation
With a friend or my lover
Somewhere down the road
We’ll lift up our glass
And toast the moment
And moments past
The heartbreak and laughter
The joy and the tears
The scary beauty
Of what’s right here
I’m wrappin’ up my love this Christmas
I’m wrappin’ up my love this Christmas
I’m wrappin’ up my love this Christmas
And here it is
From "Here It Is" on Over The Rhine's Christmas album, Snow Angels

"Some things God can teach us only very slowly, at the pace of walking, the speed of life." --Arthur Paul Boers, The Way Is Made by Walking

- At A Hen's Pace
- What does a hen do all day? Nothing but walk about in endless circles, pecking at this or that--yet she is one of the most creative and productive of God's creatures. Though my days may take me in circles, I pray for the daily fruitfulness of a hen as I nurture the four boys and two girls God has given us.
