Learn the discipline of being surprised not by suffering but by joy. As we grow old, there is suffering ahead of us, immense suffering, a suffering that will continue to tempt us to think that we have chosen the wrong road. But don't be surprised by pain. Be surprised by joy, be surprised by the little flower that shows its beauty in the midst of a barren desert, and be surprised by the immense healing power that keeps bursting forth like springs of fresh water from the depth of our pain.
- Henri Nouwen

Tonight we ate soup, home-made bread, and a salad in the living room in order to enjoy the Christmas tree. And because the dining room table has been recruited as workspace for various creative projects that will result in hand crafted gifts for friends. Simple pleasures, simply enjoyed, with deep gratefulness and the realization that grace alone makes it possible. In Ransom we believe that it is in the ordinary things of life that true significance rests, because it is here that we are called to live out our lives before the face of God. If exploring this understanding of reality is of interest to you, we hope you will find the material on this website to be helpful.
