together at the house show

The show was wonderful. Thank you to all who attended. Several people sang to us and young Miss Barnhart played her violin. My family tried to love everyone and give them a smile with a few of our songs.The powers family reminded us of why we love Yeshua. Kevin Carr caused us to long to relate to each other face to face, patiently.
Marshall Mclean helped us ache with the exquisite pain of love and life but not without the balm of Heaven's sweetness. The poetry worked on us almost like a smoky potion filling the room only instead of confusing, it made everything more clear. When he was singing to us, I looked around and saw the same look in peoples eyes that I knew was in mine. For just a few minutes we were together, in community, agreeing with what's real in this world.
We could really love in that moment, we could really care,.. like we always want to. Not yet, shaking it off to don our surface smiles and say, "I'm fine, fine and you?" When we wish we could be real and we long to be truly seen.

oopsy, Asaph forgot to wear his Winkle-Pickers.  Are Van's early 60's?.  Zion(wearing the right shoes) plays brushes and sticks on boxes that he makes as well as this vintage suitcase.

Pride and Eyre

She said,
"He wasn't like this when we married. He was like a child. I was too. We played house, we played love."

She said,
"I could have left him when I needed more. Instead I knelt and made him my master. I served him. I obeyed him,.. and he made me beautiful."

She said,
"The longer I love and serve him, the more like a character out of a great book he becomes. He is like Mr. Darcy in Pride and Predjuduce or like Jane's Mr. Rochester. It is not quite like, 'Sweet Alice with eyes so brown, who wept with delight when he gave her a smile, and trembled with fear at his frown.'"

She said,
"Sometimes I fear him (in a way that I like). He leads and controls and yet he is forever on my side. He sometimes appears unmovable and fierce before me and yet, I know him so well. I know that he is mine."

She said,
"In him, the crippled child will find compassion. In him are gentleness, generosity and creativity."

She said,
"He is becoming more and more the man of my wildest dreams and I am becoming the woman I always wished I could be but never dared to hope. I am like those heroines of the best movies, that I always envied. Not in the mirror.. not anymore.. ,but in secret."
