01.21.2023 | Sunny Saturday

It's a lovely sunny day here in South Saint Louis.  A bit of a chilly start to the morning but beautiful, nonetheless.  I got an early start on chores this morning and now I'm ready to relax with a nice cup of coffee and listen to some great old standards on the smart speaker.  

Is there anything more lovely than newly hewn wood?  The marks of the saw blade across the grain.  The rings of life encircling the circumference of the tree truck.  It's a simple, glorious thing to behold on this sunny Saturday in late January.  Simple pleasures are often the best.  I'm trying to remember that this year.  Simple pleasures.  

I pray for a simple, ordinary weekend.  I hope your weekend is filled with a faith in things unseen, hope for things needed and enough love to see you through.  Simple, ordinary​ pleasures.  Amen.
