My Manna Moments

When the children of Israel wandered for so long, God sustained them day by day. Daily there was enough nourishment-in the form of manna*-to get through that day. As I have wandered through the bewilder-ness of life, God has strengthened me by His word. Just enough for that day. This blog is a place to "pass the plate" and share the manna that has sustained my moments. And it's a place to add your insights so we can share the meal together. Bon Appetite. (*literally "what is it?")

For Justin

In honor of my first-born's 30th birthday, here is a poem I wrote when he was three, right after we had read the fable of Jack and Beanstalk. (With apologies for the syncretism).

Each day he comes home

with his bag of magic beans.

O Lord, give him good soil

where he can plant his dreams.
