God and man
Don’t confuse “pleasing your pastor” with “pleasing God”. One does not imply the other.
Faith can change the course of history, one generation at a time.

It’s time to rise up.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, I took one step closer to being a true Montanan today:
I hit a deer.
Yessirree, just doing my morning commute on state highway 2, breezing through God’s country, awake and vigilant… and under the speed limit, mind you. (There’s no greater deterrent to speeding, like the thought of hitting Bambi at 75mph.) Suddenly, from the brush on the right, out she jumps — characteristically oblivious to her impending doom.
I brake. I swerve and honk. I curse (in German, so it doesn’t count). She pauses, and I think I may escape this one. But nooooo, she just continues on her merry way, and THWOP!! — gets slammed against the starboard bow of the good ship Sienna.
I groan. I mumble something about canine offspring. I pull over to assess the damage. Hmmm… no blood, no guts, no hair… no dent, no broken glass… (I look back, expecting a twitching victim) — no deer?? I guess (I hope) she just got a little car-spank, and scuttled back off to the forest, to brag about how close to death she came.
I breathe a sigh of relief and drive on, gratefully humming an old worship song about a deer & water.
Thank the Lord for little miracles.
Yesterday, I got to enjoy the birthday of the most wonderful person I’ve ever met. The book of Proverbs says that whoever finds a wife finds a good thing, and obtains favor from the Lord. So it necessarily follows that the Good Shepherd must be awfully fond of this here dumb sheep, to give me such a bride.
Homemade gifts and cards abounded yesterday, and Little Miss Puff even went to great lengths to “bake” a mud cake for her mama.
Life is good.

..OK, it’s not really an anonymous quote. I said it. Or rather, I typed it.
Today marks our 72nd day in Montana, and much has happened… and much has not.
Happenings:
OK, on to the [drum-roll please]…
“Not-(yet)-Happenings”
WON’T Happenings
Keep praying for us, as we continue to see the Lord’s provision more clearly, in the most mysterious ways. Pray that He uses this time to make us more like Him.
Oh, and a very happy birthday to my dear Bride. She is truly the most amazing creation I know. “Thank you for saying ‘yes’!”
