Counting the Cost


I have been on a soup kick... which of course means that I have been on a bread kick. Instead of just making it, the other day I went to a shop down the street. The three small loaves cost me one euro. And they were good. Not the best I've ever had - but definitely not the worst. Ah, but for a euro it was a good buy.
I think about our access to The Bread of Life. How in Him we find truth and purpose, hope and peace. And it really is amazing that it all is free. Or is it? living sacrifice, lay down your life, carry your cross... why do we gloss over the real cost? How dare we cheapen the most precious of gifts by saying it costs nothing. It costs everything. Absolutely everything. But the investment comes back ten fold times ten fold.

Hi April,
In researching for a trip to Italy this summer I happened upon your blogs. I just read most of the posts from your singleness site. I am single myself and appreciated what you had to say. I'll be in Italy from June 15 through July 1. My friends and I were hoping to visit some missionary folks while there. Are you up for a visit from 3 single women and 1 single guy?
