Sometimes I get frustrated with reality.

Multilayered Unity
I haven’t shared an idea for a while so here goes: While American society devolves in its education while eschewing cultural exchange & interaction, why not explore how Christianity offers multilayered unity? If I were to do it, and I certainly don’t have the time right now, I’d aim for a novel aimed at middle schoolers and older. I’d make it dystopian. While education revolves around ideas that are not allowed to interact with actual life, Christianity is underground, subversive in its emphases that what we believe does affect everything else in our life.

Dear Lord, there is a lot of work to do. It can be so pressing! But thank You for doing all that truly needs to be done. Thank You for this world and these people around us. Thank You for every opportunity to do good. Thank You for loving us even despite ourselves because of Your Son. Help us to recognize which opportunities are truly ours and which are better filled by others. Help us also to recognize anew Your gifts and Your blessings every day. Through Jesus Christ Your Son, amen.

Starting Over
The irony of starting over with this post after a storm interrupted me! But sometimes starting over seems to plague me. I try to get more steps in, but before I approach better shape it seems like I have to start over. Not a few times. All the time. I try to be better in my vocations and it’s the same way. Every school year. Every Lent or Advent. Et cetera.
Honestly, I can get pretty down because of it.

Whoops
Whoops! I started to blog last night, set the draft to publish the next morning as I typically do, and then we lost electricity due to a storm. By the time electricity was back on, we were all in bed.
I’ll finish what I started, just not yet. Gotta get homeschooling done! God willing, I’ll have a good post for you at the usual time tomorrow morning.
Blessings on your day!

Past, Present, and Yet to Come
I have a clever project I get to tell you about today. 🙂 It’s about to release, but admittedly you might not jump to read it right away. It’s Hope for Christmas Past, Present, and Yet to Come: Daily Prayers for Advent by Lutheran author Stephenie Hovland.
