dwellings and manna

Well, we always knew that our time in the Rock House would be short. We even suspected it might be this short. We'll be moving out at the end of November, giving us just enough time to clean up after a lavish Thanksgiving feast.

We'll still have our housewarming party, too — it'll be a farewell party as well. (Given the likely fate of the abandoned old house this winter, a fare-well wish is just that, alas.) Someone asked, "Why on earth would you have a party at a house you know you'll have to leave?"

Now that's a question from someone who has never had cancer.

You don't know how long you'll be in your house, either, friend. The whole lesson of manna from heaven is that you have to get out there and gather it, and then try your durndest not to store it up for later.
