Quote of the Week
Brought to you by…
“Listen, God love everything you love – and a mess of stuff you don’t.
But more than anything else, God love admiration.
You saying God vain? I ast.
Naw, she say. Not vain, just wanting to share a good thing.
I think it pisses God off if you walk by the color purple in a field somewhere
and don’t notice it.
What it do when it pissed off? I ast.
Oh, it make something else.
People think pleasing God is all God care about.
But any fool living in the world can see it always trying to please us back.”

The summer is nearly over and I’m starting to feel pretty melancholy. We’re gearing up for the start of school and it’s my last full week with the boys at home before they are off and gone for most of everyday. This morning I sat after breakfast and watched the two of them awhile– Gryffin launching his matchbox cars off the ramp he had erected on the kitchen counter, Isaiah dancing to music only he could hear over by the couch– in awe that they are here and that they are mine. This morning they were the color purple in a field to me.
