If you can locate the light and brush away the insulation off the top it will probably not cut out anymore. I'd be happy to look at it and fix it if I am able.

The Lord is giving you strength and grace to change your lightbulbs, or to answer Quinn's tough questions. To quote Paul from Philippians 1:3-6, "I thank my God every time I remember you. In all my prayers for all of you, I always pray with joy because of your partnership in the gospel from the first day until now, being confident of this, that he who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion until the day of Christ Jesus." I really appreciate your writings and they challenge me to go deeper in my faith. Thank you.

Never doubt the beauty (even in adversity), encouragement and hope you share with every post. This Thanksgiving Day I am very thankful for the Light you and Quinn allow to shine through you in the darkness...and for my ability to "see" it even though I live hundreds of miles away. <br />Blessings,<br />Susansrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08371907747756523754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-90153410285433406992012-11-21T08:41:46.699-06:002012-11-21T08:41:46.699-06:00Wendy, Every time I read one of your posts it impa...Wendy, Every time I read one of your posts it impacts me in such a personal way. I feel like God is somehow weaving bits of our stories overtop of one another even though we've never met. My 5 year old daughter Maggie finished reading the Jesus Storybook Bible a few months ago. She also prays for the world God mad all the time - it is her primary prayer. At times I've thought thats so simple and so general. But she means it VERY specifically. She loves the world. And I am learning the beauty and depth of that prayer. She also prayed a while ago to accept Christ, but as another who accepted at an older age I originally balked at her "faith" thinking she was too young (and my husband is a preacher!). Yet she never waivered. She still hasnt been baptized but she persists in wanting those waters and we are ready to let her go into them because we now see it is her desperate desire to do so. And that is so, so beautiful. I will be praying for Quinn and for you as you prepare to talk to your preacher over his confession. And I will also continue to pray that one day He will allow our paths to cross. Because I really want to know you. ~DaynaThe Schoon Scoophttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14549036139209817760noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-52221501942330486302012-11-20T16:53:30.611-06:002012-11-20T16:53:30.611-06:00Thanks Wendy..

I plan to look at every lamp, lamp fixture, and light bulb differently... and if I am connected (in spite of the lactic acid from the turkey... ) i plan to remember to pray for you and Quinn. This is all tough. You are so articulate about how grief is an ambush..Totally..it just sideswipes you at the intersection that you thought was pretty tame. But then, Joy and weird Peace have the same damn habits! Thanks for giving words and voice to how hard and complex life is. <br />nitsoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17710561150594118416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1953637111624680294.post-1189202615207450092012-11-20T14:45:46.566-06:002012-11-20T14:45:46.566-06:00Wendy, this is awesome...Quinn, his prayer, his th...Wendy, this is awesome...Quinn, his prayer, his thankfulness :), and you. I am thankful for you. You are an amazing Mom, and I love to watch how you walk through life prayerfully adapting to the changes each step brings. Praying alongside as you shepherd that sweet boy.

We had to write down what we were thankful for, but I only had room for three things, and you didn't make it on the list, but I really am thankful for you." <br /><br />This is killing me. People are giving me looks because I am laughing so hard. I hope you and Quinn have an awesome Thanksgiving!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06946611421526580113noreply@blogger.com
