Dscn52481When I came back from a trip couple of months ago, I found a sheet of paper, “a surprise for dad,” on my desk. My daughters Leta, who is 10, and Ena, 12, drew Faith House as an actual house, with rooms, an attic, a yard, and a basement. This is how they imagine the future.

They latter asked me to give them the password for my computer. “What if you die?” they said.  “If something happens to you, we want to work on it.”  I was startled. My wife Vesna and I have thought them to pursue a life of loving God and belonging to a real community, but I did not know they so quickly understood that these ideals are larger than any one of us.

  • Ahh, now I would love to potluck in that kitchen one day. May that be one day soon!
    Happy New Year!

    Leta and Ena have a clear grasp of the vision. It’s marvelous and inspiring to read about their journey and how they’re conceptualizing FH. The apples have not fallen far from the tree!
