The waters of conflict were rolling with distant family members. We took a trip and spoke face to face. We isolated the troubled waters. 
We communicated. We stirred the waters a little more.
We let the waters roll beneath the bridge. (Is that the shadow of a divine hand casting a blessing on the passing of troubled waters?)
And then there was a bend in the creek, and the waters are calmed and stilled. (Don't you see the light of grace shining on us all?)
I am learning to face and deal with conflict. And now we have a win-win situation for all parties involved. I am particularly pleased. It means a minor dream of mine will come to pass, after a time, something I had lost will be returned to me.
You know, you really have the potential for something much bigger than a blog. Your pictures and words strike the heart. I'm always rewarded in waiting for you to surface from the waters......

That was magnificent and so cool seeing as I just finished being privvy to a great three week series of sermons at church about relationships.
