Mothers day flowers , originally uploaded by bbmarie {studiobeerhorst}.

The flowers and the colors of spring have bloomed and now summer makes its advance. We came back from New York enriched by our travels and visits with friends. Our computer was stolen while I was away. We bought a new machine today so I can write this post. It hurts when we are robbed and God always uses these experiences to tug us into a deeper place of freedom.

The kids have dug a very deep whole in the back yard maybe eight feet deep. Sand on their cloths, sand on the floors, sand on the couch. Real life is messy and dangerous. Real life explodes with color and sometimes all the color is drained off for a while.
