Counting blessings
We had an unexpected getaway to Pittsburgh, PA this week. I thought it fitting to give thanks in a Multitude Monday post. While I'm not at liberty to disclose the details, I will say that our trip and its success was the culmination of many years of prayer for a loved one. In more than a few ways this time was a faith-testing parallel to the events of Easter week: pain, uncertainty, trust, and hope in God's power.
After taking care of the main purpose of our journey, we were able to enjoy a little side adventure before heading home.
103 - prayers of the saints
104 - serendipitous finding of a French cafe for breakfast
105 - cafe au lait; heavenly elixir, served in a bowl, no less (Woot!)
106 - good coffee (albeit bad posture)
107 - crepes
108 - massive museums
109 - art appreciation
110 - dreamers
111 - seeds
112 - Dads who pass down their love of rocks and gems
113 - having a son who can answer his little sister's questions (Zach, what IS that little thing sticking out of the breastplate on its right?)
114 - sun-filled courtyards
115 - sugar cookies and pink lemonade
116 - thoughtful daughters
117 - cherry blossoms118 - home again, home again, jiggity jig

Unless I am mistaken (in which case someone more knowledgeable please correct me)that little shelf looking protrusion is a lance rest. The person wearing the armor supported the lance or other pole arm on this and then anchored (or "couched") it in that gap in the armor between the shoulder and upper arm. A couched lance was better supported and thus delivered a more forceful impact with the lance's target.
Thanks, Professor <3
