Here, here Wally. Having lived in the south now for a few years, I have finally begun to appreciate the tradition of sweet tea in a way I never did nor could in Michigan. But, above all, I have grown to LOVE hot tea, especially the loose leaf tea variety. Mmmm. I find it a vital part of appreciating the moment and it adds to our simplification process. But day old in a styrofoam cup? What? You must be crazy tired!

Katie, I’ve never met you, but from reading this blog it is pretty easy to see that you are a real woman of the Lord. It’s pretty impressive that you can encourage people from states away just by simply being wonderful. (that is to say: Happy Birthday. )

What Paul said (except that I haven’t read David Dark’s book). And Happy Belated Birthday to Katie!

“No man needs a castle when he has a sanctuary” strikes me as my second quote worth memorizing from the 21st century… the first chosen a couple of years ago was from David Dark’s latest book. This essay and culminating thought is a moving tribute to you and Katie.

The final statement of the post says it all! By the way, the artist in me was struck by the rich, eclectic array of colors in the photo . . . they seem to magnify the intensity of your loving gaze. Happiest of birthdays to Mrs. Metts!

As a proper British tea drinker, whenever I go abroad and drink the awful tea (hot water not boiling, with lemon, not in a pot? – who knew there were so many ways to abuse tea?) I always think that everyone must think us mad for drinking tea. Why would you choose to drink this awful stuff? But make it properly (and it’s not hard, just different from coffee), and it’s a process and a product that brings sunshine into the heart.

Oh, I love this! I have an ever-growing love affair with tea. Trying to work around my problem with caffeine (or rather, my nursing baby’s problem with it) is a little annoying, however. But I love your insights into the importance of this ritual.
