The wilderness and the dry land shall rejoice and blossom; like the crocus it shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing. ~Isaiah 35:1-2

"And as the Spirit blew a warm desert breeze, God said, 'I am sending you to Arizona where you will be shaped and challenged by my saints, learn to serve me in new ways, and occasionally fall on your face. Oh, and you'll get a great tan.'" - The Gospel according to Meta

About Me
- Name: Meta
- Location: Minneapolis
I am newly wife and pastor, experienced sinner and saint, ever hopeful and somewhat sarcastic. Here my boundaries fade and my worlds collide. These words are proof that I don't have it all together, but God does, and that's far better than what I muster on a good day. I am truly tangled and believe that this is the most beautiful and frustrating thing about being a creature of God.

Hi Meta,
Your description of the flag ceremony brought back some recent memories. Mary’s brother, Fred, died a couple of weeks ago and his family arranged for the Marines to provide a grave-side ceremony that included a flag folding, rifle salute, and taps. It was quite moving and I too welled up. We are losing members of the “greatest generation” far too quickly.
On another point, Newsweek magazine has a feature called “My Turn” where regular folks have a page to write about whatever. In this week’s issue (May 28), a woman describes having to cope with her father’s death. She goes into much detail about what she did NOT want to hear people say in order to comfort her. You may what to check it out.
