love is the every only god

who spoke this earth so glad and big
even a thing all small and sad
man may his mighty briefness dig

for love beginning means return
seas who could sing so deep and strong

on queerying wave will whitely yearn
from each last shore and come home young

so truly perfectly the skys
by merciful love whispered were,
completes its brightness with your eyes

any illimitable star

A Way To Make Me Smile

Wednesday, June 27th, 2007
  

Hey there everybody!

Had to post this picture of our friend, Ken Stringfellow, and his sweet and stylish little daughter, Aden. I just think is picture is so beautiful and wanted people to see it! (Ken gave his O.K.) It just makes me smile.:

Hope everyone is well.

Family, I’ll be calling sometime soon. Let me know if there’s a good time.
Going to the hospital w/ Cam tomorrow to see when he’ll need the surgery. He’s been feeling fine, though.

Update: June 28, 2007
Cam’s on the waiting list for surgery. Should be 2 or 3 months till he’s booked in. Thanks for all the support and concern.
We’re both doing pretty well, despite the recent events!

It's Important. Watch it, please.

Beauty and Grace Springing Forth from Severe Hardships

I found this by chance, but it struck me as something worth sharing. Amazing and beautiful pictures taken by young girls in Nepal who have been abused or neglected, and who do not have the same rights as the males in their society. These girls now live in the care of the organization “Save our Sisters Bahini”, and this project has helped to give them confidence in themselves and more of a voice in this world.:
