Do You Love Me?

I read today's Gospel through tears of joy. I was profoundly touched by the conversation between Jesus and Peter. I was moved to tears by the gentleness and compassion Jesus shows to Peter, and to us if we but ask.  The gregarious, outspoken disciple is finally humbled by the Lord and recognizes, maybe for the first time, that Jesus truly loves him, trusts him, forgives, and forgets all of Peter's failings and weaknesses. This passage is moving but we would do well to first read the entire 21st Chapter of John, a mere 25 verses to really understand how the relationship between these two men has moved to an entirely different level. John brings his Gospel to a close by taking us back to the very beginning of the relationship. Back then, Peter was out fishing all night, catching nothing, before his first encounter with the Lord. Here too, Peter, who is at this point confused, wrestling with emotions of hope and guilt, joy and sorrow, is out fishing all night catching nothing. Ag

Here are some pictures we have taken over the past few weeks. My witty comments are found underneath the pictures.....or perhaps not so witty....

The Jim Tressel homeschool club at the Hahn house.


Saint Anthony of Padua


Saint Christopher


Saint William of Norwich


Saint Alive!


And now for something completely different....Behold the eggs in the bowl. Both come from brown-shelled eggs of the same size and similar shape. Both come from chickens. The one on the right, a store bought pale, shell of an egg (yuck). The one on the left, homegrown goodness pulled from the nest while still warm. SET THE CHICKENS FREE!!!!!!!

Love the Tressel look! My husband has now adopted the sweater vest as well, though he goes with gray. I think only little ones and the Senator can get away with red.
