The Village of Truth's End, Part I

Once upon a time in a land called Far Away...

There was a village by the name of Truth's End. In the village was a man who had been harmed by a deceitful woman, and wishing to begin a new way of life, so named the village in the hopes that Truth would find a home there.

The man did indeed find peace and solace in the village, and Truth did with him abide; he died years later surrounded by Love and Charity.

But this is not his story.

Many years after his death, the village slowly became infiltrated by men and women who considered lying to be a part of life. Sadly, the man's realized dream of "Truth's End" symbolizing the dwelling place of Truth vanished, and the village began instead to symbolize the death of Truth.

Until the day she arrived.

Is My Blog Dead Again?

Aaaw, maaan. It *is*!

Somebody wake it up!

::sigh:: One would *think* that I would be able to think up posts to post. But noooo.

Well, let's see...

Texas was awesome! Marcy and I had a great time with Kk. Her mom was really nice, and her dad made us laugh alot. Her fiance, David, was really cool, and I know for sure now that I don't have a problem with her marrying him. David's brother Daniel was awesome. So was his sister Christina. EXCEPT FOR when I told them I saw *Sting Rays* in the water and they wouldn't believe me! Oh my goodness. They were swimming right in front of me--the sting rays, I mean--I saw them! There were three. Daniel was walking like four feet away from me and didn't see them, so he wouldn't believe that *I* had. ::ch:: Guys.

Later on I saw a jellyfish. It was swimming right in front of me. I didn't want to be a scaredy-cat, so I stayed in the water for a while longer, but THEN I got out. Okay, so, when I got out, I saw a dead fish lying on the beach. I don't know *why* I looked at it, but I did.

And it was a baby-shark.

I was like, "Okay, you guys! You told me there were no jellyfish and no sharks!! What is up with this?" Christina said that she'd been going to that beach all of her life and had never seen sharks or jellyfish. Yeah, well...what about sting rays, Christina?? "Whatever, Tracy, you didn't see sting rays."

::rolls eyes:: I think there's this sign above my head I can't see which reads: "PLEASE TEASE ME 'CAUSE IT'S REALLY FUNNY"

So, yes, Houston was wonderful. To Marcy, Kiersten, Christina, David and Daniel: Add more!

Texas and Pilgrims

YAY!

Marcy and I are leaving for Houston tomorrow morning.

We are going to visit my friend Kiersten. (YAY!)

And Monday night we are meeting the Mary, Lizzie and Ginny at the airport in Dallas, and Mary is riding home with us.

YAY! We are so excited to have the Chartres Pilgrims coming home!

Clear Creek Pilgrims

Okay, John, Christa and Mason!

What's up, guys? Actually...Christa is in Nebraska, so nevermind about saying 'hi' to her. ::winks::

Okay, I have been meaning to start blogging more often, but this weekend I have been too busy to do so.

Why?

Oh. Because. When I got home Thursday night my mom said that a group of people here in Clear Creek were going to be meeting at our house on Saturday afternoon to walk to the monastery. (It is 4 miles from the front door of our house to the door of the chapel.) So 14 of us walked to the monastery and offered it for the Chartres Pilgrims.

It was actually Drew's idea. (He's a great guy that lives here.) He told Lizzie he would walk to the monastery every day that she walked the Pilgrimage if she would pray for an intention he had. Then the idea just kinda caught on.

Today we walked from Drew's house to the monastery and back two times, which came to 4 miles. And we're going to do it again tomorrow.

Walking takes up a lot of time. Especially when you have little three and seven year olds....

The Chartres Pilrims are supposed to be arriving in Chartres around 8:00am our time tomorrow. Remember to pray for them! ::smiles::
