Karla, thank you for reading and sharing. I hope to post more of Merwin’s thoughts in the future. I’m doing well, but much of my time of late has been consumed with transforming our spare room from a forgotten warehouse space. God’s presence fills each of our journeys. His grace and peace takes each of us to another tomorrow.
