Sharing the good, because lately the bad is too much to bear.
Sharing a Moment:
My friend, Natalie, came over yesterday so I could meet her darling newborn. However, it was her toddler and our dog who captured my attention in this moment. Thorr spent the day thinking another puppy was in the house and acted accordingly.

I once volunteered in a brain trauma unit. A man, my age (36 at the time), could only communicate by clicking a pen. Once for “yes”. Twice for “no”. I sat with him each week and read to him Donald Miller’s, Blue Like Jazz. Every time I asked if he wanted me to continue, he clicked once. Please – if someone is in a vegetative state – don’t discount them. And for God’s sake, don’t play Barney!

Praying for peace to be with all of you in the upcoming week!

There are so many miracles – big and small that happen. So many that we don't hear about. It's good to celebrate the good.
