I am really excited. I am reading a new book, Blue Like Jazz. My daughter read this part to me and told me I needed to read this book. She said, "Its about redemption, Mom. You and Dad need to read it."
God bless her heart....she's right.
Blue Like Jazz
"I once listened to a Indian on Television say that God was in the wind and the water, and I wondered at how beautiful that was because it meant you could swim in Him or have Him brush your face in the breeze. I am early in my story, but I believe I will stretch out into eternity, and in heaven I will reflect upon these early days, these days when it seemed like God was down a dirt road, walking toward me. Years ago He was a swinging speck in the distance; now He is close enough I can hear His singing. Soon I will see the lines on His face."

Isn't that beautiful? I know you'll love that book. I did. Glad Sam got it to you. He was so funny with it - acting like he was putting it under the car wheel and throwing it on the roof. Funny kid that Sam!
