@courtneyellis Oh, that birth forever blessed
when the virgin, full of grace,
by the Holy Ghost conceiving,
bore the Savior of our race,
and the babe, the world's Redeemer,
first revealed his sacred face
evermore and evermore.

@RevSarahLocke Yes. Less than 30 minutes in my primary care office 15 years ago. It was a teaching practice so the Dr. and resident shared the procedure. 100% effective. Best part was classmates who were persistent in wondering where I had been, then said “Oh, I didn’t want to know that.”

Used Easter eggs in Children’s sermon yesterday to talk about the surprise of the empty tomb. Asked kids to guess what was in the eggs I gave them. One said “matter.”

@AaronBillard @ChadGALucas @davyay @John_Gillis Home and Lila are two subsequent books that tell the stories of the other characters in Gilead. Gone is from the perspective of the pastor across the street. Lila was my favorite.

As I left the office in a hurry yesterday a large boat/trailer was parked in the church lot. No truck. Saw a guy rummaging around in the boat as I passed. A woman was reclining on the back in the sun.

An out of print book I ordered arrived today. My wife said I buy books the way she buys fabric.

@RevSarahLocke Left for seminary when our kids were 2 and 5. For moves in five years and again 5 years later. One side benefit, I could take on a job as a mover if need be.

Had a conversation with my spouse last night about vision care. Opened FB and had no less than eight adds for glasses in my feed. Too bad talking about, say, universal healthcare near my phone doesn’t make it so.
