Waste Not

"For who repents not cannot be absolved,
Nor can one both repent and will at once,
Because of the contradiction which consents not." -Dante

Sharon's at a baby shower with Micah (for Micah) and Asher is watching Dora (also known as the abomination that causes desolation) so I just wanted to let people know that we are still here and okay. Sharon and I are both sick. Sharon, in particular, is on two different antibiotics, so poor Micah's digestion is just all off, so he's having trouble getting to sleep.

Also, I just wanted to encourage every one. Some of you reading this blog talk to us more than others, so I know what is weighing you down. But even for those who don't, be at ease today. You are loved and special and imago Deo, and for those who have been part of our lives, we love and miss you. I was reminded this week (especially this morning) that as beings of flesh our attitude is shaped more by the immediate than the eternal, more by the urgent than the important, more by presence than transcendence. Stop for a few minutes and thank God for those who are knitted together with you in life, and let them know you have.
