downright ironic

i'm just trying to help you out here by demonstrating an oft discussed english language concept.

irony.

read the previous post and then continue reading this one. then, discuss.

hooray! its fall!

glorious fall, still sunny & warm but with a decidedly cool breeze and a definite need for the long-sleeved waffle hoodie in the evenings. and the skies are still clear and blue. its the calm before the perpetual fog but i love it all the same and instead of being a sign of impending doom (drama!) like usual, its actually been a very peaceful, calming and lovely autumn for me so far this year. of course its only been a few days, but i'm hopeful.

servant team dos mil ocho is fabulous. lima feels way more accessible. the church i'm attending is overflowing with grace, & love, & openness & truth & quirkiness (an answer to prayer). the young boys are growing up. younger boys are appearing. more babies are being born. more suffering but also more joy, more trust, more hope & even more love (also an answer to prayer).

i make no promises except for this: love overflows in my heart for you and God is good.

happy peace filled fall! (read "spring" for those of you up north). abrazos.

It's great to hear from you! It's great to hear all the wonderful things that are happening!

He he. Its like rain on your wedding day. Its a free ride when you already paid. Its some good advice that you just didn't take.

I've heard rumors that none of those are actually examples of irony.

But this. This helps clear it up. I'll settle for one post per season change. Its NOT spring here. It snowed a little this morning and I'll threatened not to come to work. But then used my better judgement...

A. To comment back to Marcia- It's true... most of that song is more unfortunate than ironic...

2. Great to hear from you friend, I check this blog daily and get REALLY excited when there is something new.

ZED. Really like the clothes line pic!

Peace! From MN to MONA

For the record, I will not settle for one post per season change. I want more! But, it is very good to "hear" from you again. Glad you are enjoying the fall. We seem to be having trouble making it all the way into Spring around here - it was way too cold yesterday. I am ready to be able to put on short sleeves without having to wonder what the weather is actually like outside. As always, I miss you guys! Besos y abrazos for everybody!
