The thing is, you need a garage door.

And even if you think you have one,  it is the largest moveable part on your home.  On top of that,  it is on the outside of the house,  and rather prominent at that.  So we didnt want our crappy ugly cracked jacked rotted one,  so we have been wrestling with dropping 12-1500 bucks on a new one.

Well,  we found one today,  and it is exactly the style we want.  Follow the math kids.

The Suffering Grace of Nick Cave

  For awhile now I've been reading Nick Cave's  Red Hand Files . When I came across them, (thanks to one of my favorite podcasts The Mockingcast . You can gain some backstory about Nick Cave around the 51 minute mark) I was sort of blown away by his humble yet to the point, very gracious responses to questions his fans write in. Some of the questions are funny. Like, "Who do you want to win Love Island?" Nick Cave watches Love Island??? And some are desperate yet common. "What is the point in life?" The latest question a fan asks had me reading in wonder. The audacity! How could someone be so close-minded? Selfish! Controlling! How is Nick Cave going to answer this guy? The question reads like this: "I recently learned that there is a sitting Supreme Court Justice, here in the United States, who is a fan of a musician I love. This musician has passed.  The Justice, in my opinion, is dangerous to this country, and holds views I abhor. I firmly believe, t...

Day 30: Your Own "This is Your Life " Gallery Exhibit

  I went and baptized myself in beauty. Leaving, embracing  Silhouettes in motion. Push, carve, create  this path. My life is not just small twirling motions. It can be big if that's what it is. Small and quiet have their moment in the early morning dew. Blooming and saying yes have their time at twilight. I reach back as I step out to find who I am.  To baptize myself again in child-like giddiness. He did say let the little children come to Me for theirs is the Kingdom. I wander. I see things close and difficult to come to. I play. I'm beckoned to rise. All Rise, all Rise, all Rise.  It's a sin to kill a mockingbird and maybe the only way we can see things from somebody else's view is to  crawl around in his skin for awhile.  I don't always do what's right but I desire to. Thank God He doesn't look at our outsides.  So if I had a gallery of my life I'd want it to be like this - I'd have jazz playing, twinkle lights,  It'd be warm and intimat...

When Strivings Cease

  Psalm 7 Deuteronomy 10:17-21 2 Peter 3:8-11 I was listening to the news the other day after dropping my boys off at school. As I pulled into my driveway, a man from the U.S. Senate was being interviewed about our role in the war in Ukraine. His answer created a knot in my stomach. “They need more weapons. The Ukranian freedom fighters need to win. We don't need them to lose slowly, we need them to win. They need to kill more Russians. In order to do that, we need to give them more weapons.” He spoke so firmly, it was as if there was no other answer. How often do we just blurt out a judgment on a situation or person? How often do I justify myself in my words and actions because I want justice now? All the time. I was struck by the Psalmist's inner conflict in Psalm 7. In one entire Psalm, he pours out three options to God, very aware of his own limited sense of justice. In the first part he says, “If I deserve punishment, then God let my enemies have their way.” In t...
