June 21
We’re about as far north as Seattle (for those of you in the New World). That means that yesterday the sun rose at about 05h01 and set at 22h04. I love the long evenings and the early morning light. It’s much easier to get up and get going, though in the evening you’re still looking for stuff to do at 21h30. Hey, if it’s still light, there must be more chores to finish.
Cornelius Ryan claimed that June 6, 1944 was the Longest Day.
When you get on the plane in Paris and fly to Los Angeles, now that day is long. You leave at 10h15 and arrive at 13h00 in the afternoon, the same day… Making for a 33 hour day.
I’ve had some sleepless nights that made (oddly) for long days, or stretches in hospital waiting rooms where hours dragged on.
I’m sure you have too.

I don’t function very well without sleep but I’ve been sleepless before, especially at Bible Camp.

I’m in and out a bit due to summer….but I didn’t want you to think I wasn’t keeping up. And, as always, lifting up your ministry.

I’ve been absent from commenting on your blog for the following reason. When I first encountered your message that you had moved, I went to that site and bookmarked it. Every day I’ve gone back to that bookmark, and I haven’t seen anything new since your “Searching” post. I was wondering where you were that you hadn’t posted anything since then!! I think there are little gremlins in my computer. I’ll try again and see if I can scare them away!

Our bedroom in the new house faces the rising sun. The window is huge and we have not yet installed a blind. The consequence is early, early mornings. I wake up and figure I’ll just go to work.
