We FINALLY got an offer on our condo and we close April 27. Yikes! Tomorrow (Friday) is Find A New Place To Live Day (with beer and fireworks at 8!), so if y’all could be praying for us, that’d be spectacular. We’re hippies and all, but I don’t think we’re quite ready for full-on street [...]

Procuring and delivering the dispensations
Removed from the penitent throng
But when we lift this cup
300 strong and I
We cry the “Hallelujah”
and sing
I am not a people set adrift
