Here is a link to Donald Miller's blog addressing Pat Robertson's on-air comments about Haiti last week. A good other perspective.

update on my grandma
I'm pretty much copying my sister's blog. I'm sure she won't mind...right?
So, there was a development before the surgery happened this morning. The pathology report came back inconclusive, so the doctor decided instead of the six-hour long surgery today he would just do a surgical biopsy and put in a tracheostomy (breathing tube in her neck) as the mass was growing so fast that she wouldn't have been able to breathe by tomorrow. During surgery they sent a sample to pathology and it came back as lymphoma, not the squamous cell originally thought. Both are bad cancers, but evidently because it's lymphoma they will NOT have to remove her voicebox, and this cancer is much more responsive to chemo and radiation! This really is next to the best case scenario, so we are relieved. Thank you so much for your prayers!!! They were obviously needed!

my grandma
I want to echo my sister in asking for prayer for my Grandma Cris (my dad's mom). She is going in for surgery this Friday to remove the cancerous tumor pressing on her windpipe. Since it is wrapped around her voice box, they will remove it as well. Our family would appreciate your prayers. This picture was taken 17 months ago of our grandma with our little Drew.

happy new year!
Have a wonderful start to a new year, everyone! I feel especially blessed by all my family, my friends, a job I love, my freedom, and especially a Savior who, by grace, continues to walk with me.
I love listening to Chris Rice's Untitled Hymn (Come to Jesus) at this time of year.
