'Til Dawn Comes: We're Getting the Word out

We're Getting the Word out

It's been a busy week here. On Friday I was honored to be a guest blogger for Bernice Seward's lovely site Finding the Treasure Within. I had the opportunity to revisit the early days of Kevin's injury and talk about the riches God has revealed to us through our journey.

Yesterday, book reviewer and columnist Gail Welborn posted a review of Song in the Night for the online publications of the The Seattle Examiner and Goodreads.

Today she has posted a review for the Washington Examiner.

The Seattle Examiner and the Washington Examiner have combined monthly page views of 80,000. We are excited about the chance to tell the story of God's faithfulness to as many people as possible.

Many thanks to Gail and Bernice!

If you've been to our Song in the Night website or read my book by the same name, you have seen this image of a burned tree. In case you're wondering...

It's actually the view from my kitchen window. This tree used to be a large, living pine tree that sat on the crest of a hill overlooking the river next to our home. Then one night, we had a horrific thunderstorm. The clouds rumbled heavily above us as lightning split the darkness in a fearsome display of power.

The next morning, the tree looked like this. It has become a bit of a mascot to us over the years, and especially since our son's spinal cord injury fifteen years ago.

We've decided that the tree is like us, or maybe we're like the tree. At any rate, we know what it's like to be struck, charred, and split to the core.

Once we, too, grew and flourished in the sun. Now we live as stark testimony to God's fierce power and greater grace: broken and scarred, but miraculously...

still standing.

Did You Know?

Nationwide today, there are more than sixty-five million caregivers of aging or disabled family members. These people often work long hours without respite, give up jobs outside the home, and deal daily with the extra financial and emotional costs of caring for their loved ones. It has been estimated that caregivers sacrifice ten years of their lifespan due to the physical strain of caregiving.

They do it for love. Remember to pray for the families of the disabled and aged, and hug a caregiver today.
