We all have bad days at times...it is a given of the human condition. Today, two of my loving and committed staff left me in deep confusion and concern about their and my place at the Mustard Seed. Moreover, my son has begun to "reflux" cough again at night. Looks like no sleep again for a while.

I have learned to experience the deep connection between laughter and crying...smiling and tears. I think it is the only way that I remain somewhat sane in this life. I find both meaning and comfort in these words: "Der Teufel scheißt immer auf den größten Haufen" (German Proverb).

Grace and peace to us all,

Trey
