Perspective
A week ago we were at Sea World giggling at the antics of sea lions and otters and wondering at the strength of killer whales. Four days ago I was using humor to make light of my current state of disorganization. Two days ago I was teaching some of my clients at the crisis pregnancy center the truth that Jesus is the Light of the World. But now ... today ... I'm on my knees in prayer.

It Happens so Fast
Eleven years ago at 6:30 am, I was hooked up to an IV sitting happily in the maternity wing of Helen Keller Hospital in north Alabama. We'd arrived at the hospital around 6:00 am to begin the next chapter of our lives ... parenting. I was all smiles and welcoming hugs for the 50+ friends and family who wandered in and out of the room that sweet Thursday morning. As I noshed on ice chips and took pictures with various people, I was blissfully unaware of how much my heart would grow at 1:04 ... [Read More]
