This is the normal view I see from my easy chair. The chair is a Barcalounger, just like the one my dad used for the entire time I lived with him. The one where all of us kids rifled to find spare change that dropped there from his pockets. The view is about average for a winter day–not as good as some days, but better than others. Lorena chose this chair and bought it for me along with a matching couch for the living room. Even though the view from the chair is spectacular and we love the house and everything about it, we are thinking about a change. We are not sure whether we will do it or not. It largely depends on both my work and where the kids land. More importantly, it is about where we might be a help. This is a hard thing to know and balance. It makes me want to be more sensitive to the Holy Spirit.
