l'abri autumn 2008




so it's been rather difficult to get in much blogging time here at l'abri. most of the time i have to pay to use the internet, and i'm intentional and brief when i do get on this thing. however, i've spent this afternoon uploading some photos for your viewing pleasure.

my time here at l'abri has been (insert a thousand adjectives) eventful. i've come through a difficult time of work and vocation exploration, and now have begun reading books i want to read and having conversations i want to have, as opposed to feeling like i need to do these things (like i did when i first came). i think i've become less stressed and better at holding things in tension. if nothing else (and there are other things), i've learned this. now i'm looking forward to going home, but trying not to give too much head space to this and live here and drink in being here every day until i have to leave. i'm not sure what's next for me, but i think i'm okay with that for now.

sadly my absentee ballot never came in the mail, so i'll have to sit back and watch tomorrow's election unfold without contributing a vote of my own.
lord be with us all.

much love from beautiful switzerland. -b.

Hey friend! What an incredible shot of the mountians I had become so used to seeing everyday.

I'm so very glad you are coming to feel closure and freedom. I miss L'Abri with all my heart and feel a bit lost -- I don't think I'm "holding things in tension" as well as you seem to be. :)

Too bad about your absentee ballot. I am anxious for Tuesday. We shall know soon, won't we?

I miss you and hope you are well. Please give hugs and hellos to all for me. My heart is especially lonely for L'Abri today.

Yeah bro, I echo everything Renea said. I also miss L'Abri and feel aches in my heart numerous times daily to be back there. Also a bit lost, but trying to hold things together!
