Happy Anniversary!

Today was our 28th anniversary. We celebrated by leaving our children in the capable hands of Mandy and Alex. Yesterday we went to another workshop. The topic of this one was trauma (we chose this because we are raising children who have suffered trauma, not because we've been married for 28 years). After the workshop, we checked into a hotel and spent the night all by ourselves. When we sat in bed in the morning, no little person came in uninvited and jumped in between us, no Beagles came in to see where their breakfast was, no cats scratched on the door, and nobody was fighting in the kitchen. It was wonderful, for one night, and now it's good to be home. They all did well, and there were no casualties, so maybe we'll do that again!

Jesus, Friend of Sinners by Casting Crowns

Jesus, friend of sinners, we have strayed so far away
We cut down people in your name but the sword was never ours to swing
Jesus, friend of sinners, the truth's become so hard to see
The world is on their way to You but they're tripping over me
Always looking around but never looking up I'm so double minded
A plank eyed saint with dirty hands and a heart divided

Oh Jesus, friend of sinners
Open our eyes to the world at the end of our pointing fingers
Let our hearts be led by mercy
Help us reach with open hearts and open doors
Oh Jesus, friend of sinners, break our hearts for what breaks yours http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B9Kcm2OAWNA
