The Mission


"I seldom feel like much of an adventurer---standing in this kitchen, pouring cereal into bowls, refilling them, handing out paper towels when the inevitable cry comes: 'Uh-oh. I spilled.' But sometimes at night the thought will strike me: There are three small people here, breathing sweetly in their beds, whose lives are for the moment in our hands. I might as well be at the controls of a moon shot, the mission is so grave and vast."
~ Joyce Maynard, Domestic Affairs


God says...
"My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."
2 Corinthians 12:9
