In the States, public shoe shining is mostly out of vogue, except maybe in some larger cities. Perhaps because many people no longer wear actual leather shoes that need to be shined, or people don’t have time to stop for a good shoe shine or perhaps it’s that independent, do-it-yourself American mindset.

Okay, so, it’s the Lord’s Day, and you’ve just had some good worship at home (A great lesson on Moses for Avery and morning prayer for Tom and Anne!). Then you have lunch at [a certain home of the Whopper... I know... but sometimes we just need a Whopper!]. So what do you do next?
Of course: you go to La Paz, Bolivia’s very own Japanese Garden.
I have been to places I can call “refuge”. This is one of those. In a city full of noise and excitement - of minibuses and intense drivers, street-peddlars and everything else you can imagine in a valley full of a million souls, refuge is a wonderful discovery. (more…)

Just had to share a couple of cultural experiences this week that once again, reminded me that I’m living in South America!

Collect (prayer) for this week…
Almighty and everlasting God, you are always more ready to hear than we to pray, and to give more than we either desire or deserve: Pour upon us the abundance of your mercy, forgiving us those things of which our conscience is afraid, and giving us those good things for which we are not worthy to ask, except through the merits and mediation of Jesus Christ our Savior; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Time for some good news – especially after my last (rather necessary and therapeutic) post, and after almost a week of Fisher Family Stomach Bugs; my kids are just amazing.
First, my own: Avery is a champ. She has begun taking to going to the Montessori School (our school just hasn’t gotten to the point where it has a three-year-old class yet), actually sitting in circle time, washing her dishes after snack (and they are real glass dishes; talk about fear and trembling!), responding to the teacher’s Spanish instructions to help with a calendar activity. The look I saw on her face there was one of serious concentration and enthusiasm for the task at hand. Of course, part of it may have been, “What’s this lady doing talking all in Spanish to me?” But they do speak enough English to help her along!
