I see your names here, your little avatars, and I can't help but think that I have literally a worldful of friends.
Thank you for all the kind words. I am beyond grateful and uplifted by them. I know I haven't been around much lately, but I think all the time I was here in the past was a good investment.
My older son created this video when he got in tonight. I hope you'll enjoy it. Thanks again for all your words of encouragement, and especially for your prayers.

Lord, fill my mouth with worthwhile stuff, and shut it when I've said enough. Amen.
