After days of dreary rain and cold, the sun finally came out this morning -- a moment of grace in a crazy week here. We have run the gamut from mildly annoying (the dishwasher door won't close properly) to the time-consuming (efforts to replace everything from my daughter's wallet, which was stolen last Saturday). But the kicker was my father-in-law, who has cheated death more times than I care to say, was rushed to the hospital on Thursday. He has been ill for several years, and this just seems as though it might be very bad... I know I have asked you to pray for him before, but I'd appreciate your prayers, good karma, whatever...
Thanks so much for all your sweet comments and encouragement. I will see you all for Mosaic Monday. The link machine will be up by 8:30pm Eastern time USA, Sunday.
