seeking restoration of sustainable life... personally, professionally, & spiritually
Here we are coming up to Halloween again. The health issues behind the candy were the focus of my post on Halloween candy last year. But this year, there’s a whole ‘nother level to consider…
I don’t even have to write much (which is good cause I’m on hiatus!). You can just read what Kristen wrote over at Good Food on this issue.

Sigh… Something about seek justice…
I’ve been home for nearly two weeks, and I’m just not sure how to communicate everything on my heart from this 10 day window of October 16-25, going to Cambodia for the Miessence leadership retreat and then taking three extra days to visit the part of India where a dear friend used to live a few years…

It is so much bigger and even more insidious now than it was two hundred years ago. 🙁 But, God is a God of justice, healing, and reconciliation and is no doubt at work against all such evil in the world. 🙂
