I guess I just wanted to get back to writing again & sharing while I lie here beneath the starlight. It's been a challenging several weeks. I look forward to Christmas break starting in about a week and a half, except there are so many details to take care of and so many things to work out it could go bu incredibly quick.
Dual thoughts of note: community & friendship helps us thrive. On Sunday I went, regardless of some time-crunch necessities, to church and had lunch with an amazing group and they prayed for me, and I was therefore fed body & soul.
The other item is that I went to another church and sat/stood while they sang hymns for well over an hour. I still can't decipher Creole singing so I read from the first book of Isaiah. My opinion that I felt nothing in my soul stir while a church sang out and the words of scripture implying God cannot be present or won't be responsive to those whose words he doesn't believe is profound to me, here in Haiti.
Let us all be true and a window instead of a mirror or tinted glass.
Blessings,
David

I didn't actually stop writing...
...I just stopped publishing.
Ever since my quick excursion back to the U.S. In October my brain has been consumed with so many things: finances (or general lack thereof) for homes, hurricanes, cholera, elections, school for the boys, budgets, fantasy basketball injuries, and more.
In the midst of such chaos I've found comfort and refuge in prayer and its visible answers played out in my life. Still there are endless possibilities here to go with the neverending around the next corner potential setbacks.
That, and I've definitely missed hot showers tremendously.
I'm going to leave it there for now. Life is a complex knot for me right now, but I know that because you're all out there somewhere I am not alone, and for that I am grateful.
I pray you all had blessed Thanksgiving with time to reminisce in all the joys you've garnered this year, and that this holiday (Christmas, Chanukkah, ... Other(?)) season provides us ample opportunity to dole out even a drop of the same unto others that has been poured out on us.
With great faith, hope, and love,
David
