Last Sunday was the first time I can remember that IWU ever put the campus on lockdown because of a tornado warning. {It may have happened before, but this was the first I could remember.} After they lifted the ban and students could go outside again, a girl named Katie Bankert took this photo with her iPhone. A double rainbow over the chapel building = looks God saturated to me!

My friend Kristin sent me this article of 11 life lessons you can learn from Anne of Green Gables. Oh how I love Anne. If I had six hours to kill right now, I'd watch those two movies straight through. Anyway...I think this is well written and has good stuff in it. And if you don't know Anne...you're missing out. :)

I've told you before - I was raised on hymns, and there's a part of me that still loves them so much {even though I also love contemporary music}. I'm a hymn purist. I don't like remade versions. I want big, anthem-y versions like you would have heard in church in days gone by. My friend Amy reminded me this week of the hymn To God Be the Glory - which I've not heard in YEARS. So I had to hunt down a big version of it. I liked this one.

I LOVE THIS POST! I wish I'd written it! :) Ryan and I have such a deep desire for not only our marriage to be healthy and thriving, but for marriages around us to be the same way, so I love reading posts like this. I'm so excited to read that we do these things already - makes me feel affirmed that we're doing something right!

I surprised Ryan this week with a new picture for our house! We both love this photo we took on our cruise - you might recognize it from the top of the blog! I had it printed on canvas, and now it hangs in our bedroom {which is slowly morphing into a beach theme).

Thankfulness, Day 23: It's so hard when you want to say thanks to someone who has passed away...and they can't hear those words you wish you could say. Today, write a letter to someone who had an impact on your before they passed away. Maybe you'll want to send it to one of their kids or grandchildren so they know the impact. Or maybe you just want to commit the words to paper and save the letter to remind you of their investment. Either way - be grateful today for what they did to be part of your life!

Your video of To God Be The Glory inspired me to play it again on the piano. The kids joined in, making it a trio. While it might not have been as grand as the London Philharmonic's version (nor as melodic!), Miss Rachel's singing of "Praise the Lord" brought tears to my eyes. Thanks for inspiring some great family worship time.
Also, some of the OCD pictures made me reach out to the screen in an attempt to fix them!
And that put tears in MY eyes!!! I love it that you got some family worship time in!! :)
