 Sweet couple

The whole family was so very proud!!

Followed by Law School reception with lots of food and cool desserts

National Training Institute in Chicago: THANKS, DCH!

Very touching, well-written and heart-felt

Please take a moment and read Brooke's Playing-Grown-Up Post.  It's so sweet and faith-inspiring.  Reminds us that God is sovereign.

Also, Sommer is volunteering today for the Red Cross, delivering meals.  I love my kids.  They make a mama proud.

WHEN MY WORLD IS SHAKING, WHEN MY HEART IS BREAKING, I NEVER LEAVE YOUR HANDS

Also, so proud of Brooke doing her part to raise money for tornado victims.  See her artwork Here, and help her out!

BEAUTIFUL THINGS

THE AFTERMATH OF 4/27 TORNADO

 AFTER THIS MESS, PEOPLE ARE PULLING TOGETHER LIKE NEVER BEFORE.  CHURCHES, COMMUNITIES AND RACES ARE UNITING FOR A COMMON GOAL

REMINDS ME OF A SONG:

All this pain..
I wonder if I'll ever find my way.
I wonder if my life could really change, at all.
All this earth..
Could all that is lost ever be found?
Could a garden come up from this ground, at all?

[chorus:]
You make beautiful things,
You make beautiful things out of dust.
You make beautiful things,
You make beautiful things out of us.

[verse 2:]
All around,
Hope is springin up from this old ground.
Out of chaos, life is being found in You.
