He has reconciled you.

I've had a good sabbath day.  A nice mix of rest, ministry, & a little homemaking.

I was just reading the chunk of Colossians that we'll be covering tomorrow at church.

And being moved by it.

you were at one time strangers and enemies 

in your minds

as expressed 

through your evil deeds

but now

but now

but now

he has reconciled you

he 

has reconciled 

you

by his physical body through death

to present you 

to present you

holy, 

without blemish,

and blameless

before him

holy, 

without blemish,

and blameless

before him 

– if indeed you remain in the faith, 

established 

and firm, 

without shifting 

from the hope

the hope  

of the gospel that you heard. 

Simple things; so much power.

Man, let me just say that when I am either (a) tired or (b) dehydrated,
my whole world looks different.


And I think the enemy takes advantage of it.


The cafe's closed this week, but I have a super long list to-do list for myself for the cafe.  I really like working from home.  I get a lot done.  And it feels good to be in my home.  I ate all three meals at home today.  Pretty sure that's the first time that's happened....at least since we moved here.  It makes me think that I could keep managing the cafe if I had a baby.  I wouldn't want to work regular shifts at the cafe behind the counter, but really think I could still manage.  At least for a while.  But who knows what the future holds.

Two things that are definitely in my future are enough sleep & water.
