My beautiful goddaughter (and newest sister) of 2 and a half months =)

Well, never thought I'd be in a crash BEFORE I could drive, but in retrospect, I'm actually better off having been in one. Life is so good, family is so great, and God is so amazing, this crash really opened my eyes to that and I hope I never close them.

Post-Christmas

Well, another Christmas is over. There is, however, still a profusion of cookies and goodies about, along with decorations, (to remain until around New Year's) and, best of all, visiting relatives are still here. =)

I underestimated the time school + soccer would consume. Now I'll readjust my goal from weekly posts to monthly. =)

While searching for a suitable subject to post, I came across this.

Such an insignificant object, on one of the most common surfaces, but the shape represents something so great, it dominates lives. Families are built on it. People are inspired and raised to greatness because of it. In fact, our whole salvation is based on what that little fallen petal represents.

We look at a tiny fragment of flower on rain-washed sidewalk and see nothing but a couple of the most common things in life.

...But look again, because sometimes in the most common places, and disguised as the most common object, something beautiful is found.
