Silk purse sessions


Yesterday my husband Chris and I had what we call a "silk purse" session. We both spent all day, side by side at our kitchen table. Our laptops were humming away on the red checked tablecloth and we spent most of the day writing. The term "silk purse" refers to the fact that we are being creative, trying to make something grow out of nothing... nothing but our efforts.
At days end we were tired of sitting, and he had a great idea. A hurricane was brewing out at sea, and if we drove to Pemaquid Point, we might view some spectacular waves. When we got there, the waves were indeed amazing, 10-15 foot swells smashing on the rocky coast. And then I turned and saw this view... a fragment of rainbow by the lighthouse. Breathtaking.
I guess God was feeling creative, too.
