1,000-word day

I wrote my one thousand words today and found my way into chapter four, the title of which is "Paper Boat." Today's words will change many times before I am done with them, and I hope they will be greatly refined, but at least I have made a start. Every chapter is a new hard start.

My son gave me permission to post this picture, which definitely speaks more than a thousand words to me. My daughter says he might be the coolest kid she knows.

  7. This picture brings a lump to my throat, so I can only imagine how you and your family must feel about your son. So proud of him, so aware of the good he does and the dangers he faces. That work is certainly a calling, and I'm glad there are people who answer the call.
