When the ends don't meet and the wallet is draining. When the bank's been calling, complaining. When the kids need shoes and we dine on broken dishes. Jesus, stretch our pennies, bread and fishes.

Beautiful Sister, Wonderful Mother
Why would my little sister become anything less than a beautiful mother?
At 10, she was anxious to show us how much she could do and be. At 20, she adored and influenced my own sweet daughter. Now at 30, she is showing herself to be a mother of grace and intuition.
Happy birthday sweet flower. Sister mother.
Sculpted For His Glory
"Alexander - When will you finish Campaspe?
Apelles - Never finish: for always in absolute beauty there is somewhat above art."
- Lyly's Campaspe
At this point in her life I still hold one of the main sculptor roles. One day I will be positioned to sculpt a lot less.
But if I began sculpting more today and more every day after that, I could never make her any more than her creator, the master sculptor, has planned.
My daughter is 12. May God never finish the beautiful work he began in her before the foundations of the world.
