We are in the final week before the office closes. The good doctor is closing his doors Friday. I’ve become increasingly stressed over the repetition in conversations and what I continually forget is this is the caller’s first time processing this with us.

So we have a sewer block in our house. Our house looks a bit like an avalanche. Everywhere I look is a bit of chaos. We have come up with methods to clean and tidy, but as we wait for insurance to decide and inspect and such, I just see chaos. It’s hard to find…

Today, I was listening to the story of the woman at the well. I stopped in my tracks as Jesus talked with her. He had sent the disciples away to get food and he had quiet for a moment. I can imagine him breathing deeply and looking around. Nobody at the well, until one who…
