Cause for Celebration

"More than marking a loss today, we chose instead to celebrate life. For no matter how brief, life is a cherished gift.... When a child enters your life, it is a cause for celebration, a time to rejoice that should not be measured by the passage of time but rather by the goodness of God’s sovereignty."

- An excerpt from Life is an Memorial by Jay Cookingham on his blog Soulfari

A Perfect Day

"You can't live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you."

- John Wooden

Young Wisdom

"I have good kids.

Strong kids.

One is strong enough to endure what she cannot understand, to take her lumps as they’re given and then get up and play and laugh and dream afterward.

The other is strong enough to know that sometimes having the right and the freedom to do something doesn’t mean you should."
