You have failed this #JapaneseAmerican family.

No, we do not want “fur cocktail” or “fruitcake,” but we would like furkikake on our shopping list.

Here’s to trying new things…
Today I took my first tap class, followed by my first ballet class.

They were challenging.
They were fun.
They are worth doing again.

Going to bed with a grateful heart.
The chancel was filled with children and youth. The sanctuary was filled with our members, the families of the children/youth, and friends of members. The place was bursting with joy. The numbers don’t matter, but the joy was profound.

Giving thanks to be able to hold space for the weary this longest night at #ProvidenceForgePresbyterianChurch
