Sing them over again to me

Hello -

I find myself wanting to post about "This is Amazing Grace" by Phil Wickham again.  Again - out of all the songs in the world!  But it's a topic that never gets old.

Tell me again!

I've been reading through a series "This is the Gospel" from shereadstruth.com.  It never ceases to amaze me how many shapes the gospel takes, and how that endless variety, creativity, and energy makes a story that cannot be over-told.

This morning as we sang it again, I rejoiced, personally recognizing the way that God brings my chaos back into order and makes an orphan soul come home.

It never gets old, because it is always re-creating, making new things, that astonishing power, doing what we'd never heard of or seen before.

Wonderful words of life.

Here's a video of Wickham performing his song.  I enjoy this album through Amazon Music and would recommend it.

Long hiatus

I was at a conference last weekend, and I heard the coolest word: rearborize.  It describes when parts of the brain that had died grow back like the branches of a tree in Spring.

Well, my blog is going to rearborize.  I'm ready for this and have lots of ideas.  Unsure about a domain name at this point, but I feel like I should just get going!  So here we go.

What's new with us?  Well, little mister is in Kindergarten.  So far he has done well, but I am still holding my breath.  Little miss starts first grade next week, and she and I have had such a nice time together this week.

I go back to work in two weeks, and will be teaching WRT 101, 101s, and 70.  I'm thankful that a few colleagues will also be teaching 70 because that is a totally new curriculum and population for me.

Husband and I went to a conference on autism and asperger's last weekend, and learned so much.  We feel like we have a million baby steps to take but are encouraged that autism is treatable.  I have always thought so and hoped for recovery.  We shall leave no stone unturned.

Hopefully, this will help little mister and little miss to grow as much as they are genetically capable, to be what they were made to be.  Our little family tree.

Here is a product I think it pretty great: it's a supplement.  We'll be trying different things.  Another route we want to go is essential oils.  Any suggestions?

Hope you're well - I'd love to hear from my friends in the comments.
