We swam in the Mississippi where the Ingalls crossed in 'Little House on the Prairie'

i cried just now, reading 'little house on the prairie' to eowyn and coco, at the bit where their grandma and grandpa and aunties and uncles and cousins all arrive in the dark morning, carrying candles through the woods, to say goodbye to ma and pa and laura and mary and baby carrie. it breaks my heart every time i say goodbye to each of you, darling family, yet still i want to see you and have my heart broken again and again and again. the love and the satiation of your presence for a time is worth the pain which follows.
love,
megs

Anyway, the reason I'm not going to official, formal, good ol' fashioned church is that I think it's a family thing, and Bens doesn't want to go any more ... In his words: "We got to attend Solomon’s Porch this last summer during our 11,000 mile 33 state road trip. It was actually after visiting here that I officially finalized my long-in-the-works decison to not do Sunday morning church anymore. It was very kewl. Their meeting was in a big room with lots of couches and lazy chairs and such all arranged facing the center, and a big part of the m...
