Kj is trying to teach L "Wa-bec-ca." And she says, "I am saying Wa-bec-ca, and L is saying silly things to me." I think Kj is going to have some talking competition. :) aj

Secret Riches

Isaiah 45:3
And I will give you treasures hidden in the darkness-secret riches.
I will do this so that you may know that I am the LORD.
The God of Israel.
The one who calls you by name.

"We can mine great things from the dark times in our lives--things that may not be discovered any other way. Things like irrepressible hope, unsurpassable peace, inexplicable joy, unfailing comfort, divine endurance, and amazing grace. In Isaiah, God calls these secret riches. How will we discover these treasures lying hidden in the darkness of our trials if we're always ....trying desperately to avoid any testing, suffering, or pain?"
