I felt the loss of our home in all my senses as snippets of our family life, so beautiful in their ordinariness, flashed through my mind, writes Sue Nador
Editorâs Note: This is a two-part column from Gloria chronicling and celebrating the adoption of Jesse, age 3, and Hosanna, 4.
Have you ever felt too full for words? Thatâs just how I feel, yet I want to invite you to join us on that most memorable and precious day when we adopted our beloved foster children. Now I donât always process things the same. On this particular day, it seemed unreal that adoption was taking place. The driver arrived at 8:15. Austin was helpful as ever, helped tote the five car seats to the van where we strapped them in, and we were on our way. Forty-five minutes later, we were driving up in front of the large courthouse in Olney, Illinois. I looked at Daniel, then at the huge building. âIs this for real?â I wondered.
It doesn t mean you will have to forgo your favorite condiment just yet, but it could be possible at least for the next few months till manufacturers are able to meet demand. Thankfully, Heinz is working on doing just that, but it could be a while before we see the market return to normal.

America s ketchup crisis
The shortage was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, who found that managers are using generic versions, pouring out bulk ketchup into individual cups and hitting the aisles of Costco for substitutes. How did it get that bad? For starters, the closure of restaurants led to a collapse in demand for 20oz table-top bottles, but an increase in demand for 114oz cans.

I originally wrote this piece three years ago. Jesse and I were engaged at the time. I thought back to this day because last Sunday, at C3 we held our annual âCovenant Sundayâ worship service. The elders at C3 like to have a clean member roll so they know better how to serve those who choose to member with this Commerce church.
I like that idea. When we Covenant together as a church it means we tell each other weâll be there for each other through thick and thin. It means we strive together for the good of each other, and for the glory of Christ, being generous with our time and money, loving and serving not only those in the church, but also those in our neighborhood, coworkers, and cashiers and clerks at the stores we go to and at the restaurants we eat.
