NOTES FROM TOAD HALL
spacer NOTES FROM TOAD HALL
Still Winter #1 2012
Publication Date: 02/22/2012

Dude!! You need to chill!” I don’t ordinarily talk like this, calling someone “Dude.” It’s pretentious for a woman my age. But it seemed appropriate at the time. I had to shout to get Denis’ attention because he was flipping out.
He walked into the bedroom late one night and asked why there was water under the lid of the flip-top toothpaste container. When he opened it a bunch had spilled out. Welll. I remember thinking for a second: Margie, you need to lie here. Because you love him. But I couldn’t think fast enough. I told the truth....

Ransom Fellowship
spacer Occasionally we are reminded that even with the best planning all the details in life are not in our control. Interruptions--be they weather or pneumonia or economic recessions--can appear when they are least expected or appreciated. Some interruptions are minor, irritations really while others can scare us back to reconsider our basic convictions about life, meaning, and reality.

In Ransom we are committed to the notion that reflection on such issues should be done with authenticity, gratitude, fearlessness, humility, and wit. We hope this can be seen in the material posted here, and we invite you to join our conversation.

Thanks for visiting our site.
Denis & Margie Haack
