Marveling this morn, thinking back on the church Robert and I walked past on a walk near our Airbnb in the Riverside neighborhood of Jacksonville over the weekend.
It’s Romanesque and Byzantine architecture first caught our eyes. But then the large sign out front sparkled in joyfully inclusive welcome.
Look closer …
Thank you, Riverside. You are a Marvel.
My weekly gratitude journal, of sorts.
1. Savannah Wisteria in March.
2. A yummy breakfast of candied sweet potatoes, fresh cut pineapple and market style bacon.
3. More Savannah beauties.
4. My Sweet and Spicy Shrimp Pineapple Boats with Thai Chili Sauce from the other night.
5. The belief that our bodies know how to be well and are always trying to move toward wellness.
May you have a Healthy Weekend ahead!
You know you’re getting … “older” when you open up an email such as this …
And find it not only a fascinating read, but just so very practical, and maybe even a little bit hip.
Or at least close to the hip.
Tonight’s service, again, was beautifully simple and peaceful.
If you don’t know what I’m talking about, check out this post post real quick:

The chant tonight was centered around this theme:
“There is a balm in Gilead to make the wounded whole.”
Yes! There IS hope, there is the possibility of healing, there is a balm.
So again on this night, may Peace be your Portion.

So last year, Robert and I joined Georgia’s uber-cool Farm Passport Program.
“The Farm Passport is your guide to discover Georgia, support local farms and experience fresh food. Grab your passport and let it guide you across the state to see the diversity of agriculture Georgia offers.
The Farm Passport features over 90 farms included in Georgia Farm Bureau’s Certified Farm Markets program, which was created to help people discover where their food comes from, meet the farm families who grew the food, and create lasting memories with loved ones as they travel the state.” Farm Bureau, GA
We had a blast and visited 22 Georgia Farms.
Last weekend we made a little trip to Macon to pick up our prizes and to explore old town Macon a bit.
Here I am with one of the leaders of the Passport Program.
And look! Here I am with HR and our nifty new Farm Traveler T-shirts. (After all, remember, it’s T-shirt Tuesday.)
And here are a few images from our time in Macon, which by the way is (was?) my birthplace.
The cool ceiling of our Airbnb …
