Reflecting on motherhood, I am very thankful for my role in Eowyn and Cosette's life, and theirs in mine. This chalk drawing by Leonardo da Vinci, entitled 'Virgin with Child, St. Anne & St. John the Baptist' is a favourite of mine. I love Mary's deep serenity, and long for such myself.

It is a lovely drawing.
Re: the Red Tent. Yes, the relationship with sheep was a worry. The book actually brought to life those times...I didn't like it all. I was interested in the way the characters we have heard about so often were portrayed. Especially Leah and Sarah.
I have joined a book club which means that I will be reading some books I probably would not pick up off the shelf myself. As we are all busy people we have a month to read each one.

So in a way we're not really not going - just depends on your definition of 'church' I guess!! 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...
