The Faithful Skeptic

This morning Sarah is substitute teaching for a man so that he can be with his 35 year-old wife as she has a kidney transplant.  It is a great opportunity for Sarah to spend some time speaking french and to help someone who really needs it.

Yesterday a Hillsboro police office (that I happen to know) was hit by a car while he was doing a traffic stop.  He was taken by life flight to the hospital, but he was sent home the same night.  It is amazing that he survived.

This morning I’d like to offer a little prayer:

We thank God for the opportunity to help their family and for miracle of a new kidney for this woman.  We also pray for the family that is mourning the loss of someone loved and we thank them for their generosity in what must be a horrible time.

God, we also thank you for being with Clint in his accident and the he was able to go home to his family.  We are constantly reminded of the sacredness of the life and how fleeting our time here can be.  But we rejoice in every blessing and also pray for your mercy and your peace for those feeling the painful reminders of the fleeting nature of life.

Lord, hear our prayers.

For those less techie, “metadata” is data about data - meta-blogging is blogging about blogging.

Anyway, I want to try to blog more regularly. There is a lot going on in life, most of it good, thankfully. Last night was Halloween, obviously - but it was the first Halloween where our daughter really got what was going on. She had a blast and we had fun watching her have fun. A great time was had by all.
