Missing Carter
Ever miss something or someone so much that it takes your breath away?
Not wanting to belabor the point, however, yesterday was tough coming home.
You know what I’m talking about. And I was just grieving the loss of a Pet.
Ever wonder what it must be like to try to recover from the loss of a child, perhaps a teenager who is taken away suddenly and tragically?
Today is dedicated to those Families. If you are one of them, or know a Family like this (we know several), please pray for them with all your heart.

What Is Love?
“Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being “in love” which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two.”
-St. Augustine

Or, you could opt to do the opposite. But don’t complain if your results are not what you hope or wish for.
Hard work is the only way.
