“The best way to measure how much you've grown isn't by inches
or the number of laps you can now run around the track, or even your grade
point average-- though those things are important, to be sure. It's what you've
done with your time, how you've chosen to spend your days, and whom you've
touched this year. That, to me, is the greatest measure of success.”
“Learning who you are is what you're here to do.”

“My mom smiled at me. Her smile kind of hugged me.”

"Ring the bells that still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in."
-Leonard Cohen “Anthem”

"Lord,
give us the imagination to dream and catch glimpses of the life you intend us
to live. Show us how our individual lives are entwined with those around us,
and help us to live so truly together that we embody your good news in this
world. Amen." –Shane Claiborne Common

a race run in honor of dear friend Kim Kredich...
and some words of encouragement for this season of life for her:
“I
am not afraid of storms, for I am learning how to sail my ship.”
“Be
comforted, dear soul! There is always light behind the clouds.”

17-18 Real wisdom, God’s wisdom, begins with a holy life and is
characterized by getting along with others. It is gentle and reasonable,
overflowing with mercy and blessings, not hot one day and cold the next, not
two-faced. You can develop a healthy, robust community that lives right with
God and enjoy its results only if you do the hard work of
getting along with each other, treating each other with dignity and honor. James 3:17-18 The Message

“If you feel your value lies in being merely decorative, I fear
that someday you might find yourself believing that’s all that you really are.
Time erodes all such beauty, but what it cannot diminish is the wonderful
workings of your mind: Your humor, your kindness, and your moral courage. These
are the things I cherish so in you. I so wish I could give my girls a more just
world. But I know you’ll make it a better place." -- Marmee, Little Women”

“Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is
fighting some kind of battle” ― J.M.
Barrie quoted

“If every person in this room made it a rule that wherever you are, whenever you can, you will try to act a little kinder than is necessary - the world really would be a better place. And if you do this, if you act just a little kinder than is necessary, someone else, somewhere, someday, may recognize in you, in every single one of you, the face of God.”
