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.
