May the God who gives us his peace and wholeness be with you all.
Yes, and so let it be!

But the wisdom that is from above is first pure, then peaceable, gentle and easy to be intreated, full of mercy and good fruits, without partiality, and without hypocrisy.

There is nothing better for a person than to eat, drink, and enjoy his work; I have seen that even this is from God’s hand.

God be merciful to me a sinner.

We know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.

God asks no man whether he will accept life.
That is not the choice. You must take it.
The only choice is how.

Let us give nature a chance; she knows her business better than we do.

Michel Eyquem de Montaigne (1533-92)

Protestant ethics… .. describes the home as the “school of the souls,” as it is no other relationship of man’s common life.

p. 160, The Christian life, the Christian life at home, Waldo beach

Let all bitterness, and wrath, and anger, and clamour, and evil speaking, be put away from you, with all malice.

Bearerth all things,
Believeth all things,
Hopeth all things,
Endureth all things.
