Inspired by a little-known picture book from the pen of Bethany Tudor, this is a diary, of sorts, where I document some of my thoughts, activities, and ideas as I explore the challenges met by the characters in the story: hard work, the care and nurture of others, housekeeping skills, life changes, charity, community, and cooperation, among others. Like Samuel and Samantha, the ducks in the tale, I struggle and succeed, cope and celebrate, work and play, handling the tasks that come my way. I invite you to join me on my journey.

Praise the Lord, Our Cat is Home

Yesterday morning (9/5/2006) at ~8:00 AM, just as I was preparing for a chiropractic appointment and my daughter was starting her school day, Kit, our youngest cat, decided to leap from the bathroom window for what was, I can only surmise, an adventure in curiosity. Almost 20 hours later, he has returned from his excursion none the worse for wear but extremely frightened. In fact, judging by his demeanor after a night outside in the pouring rain with no food, his extrahouse experience was a total bummer.

I plan to write more about Kit’s adventure at a later date when my thoughts are more collected. For now, however, I would like to thank everyone who prayed for my family while Kit was away. We are so thankful that he is home and are heartily grateful for God’s grace and provision in keeping us calm and in keeping Kit safe. God is certainly great, and greatly to be praised! Amen.
