Multitude Monday, Take 264


"...always looking for just one more in this unfolding of a chronicle of grace, our life story in freeze frames of thanks..." (Ann Voskamp, One Thousand Gifts, p. 82)

That phone conversation was a blessing to me last week too! I'm looking forward to hearing more from you at some point about all we talked about!

And I really think you should work that talk into an article for Ungrind. I think it would be perfect to get in for November, considering Thanksgiving. Not that I'm the editor or anything. ;)

Elijah is sporting Ravens colors. Go team! :) Sounds like a full and meaningful week.
