The ravages of age and weather is showing on our wooden deck; the white paint spot next to the hole is there marking this as a site for hoped-for future "surgical" repair by a carpenter. But the white paint almost seems like a light hi-lite in this photo.
In our own lives, those areas for self-improvement we all have, quietly marked inside -- are they hi-lites for hope and change, or are they just continuing to slowly decay?
Please pray for Bella.
Bella Update: 07/23/08. Wednesday. Another good Bella morning, she is in good spirits, even with they mysterious disappearance of our normally numerous and active neighborhood squirrel population. Maybe "Sheriff Bella" has cleaned out Dodge and sent all those tree-climbing hoodlums packing. Heh.
Bella and I appreciate each of you for caring and praying. Please understand this miracle being prayed for, because although it is day by day, it also may take a bit of time for completion: Bella's battle for life, wellness, and a healed heart isn't a sprint but a long-distance run.
What we have right now are daily blessings: I am prayerfully thankful that her good days may be God's bit by bit miracle that is slowly unfolding.

A nice reflection and also a beautiful shot. I like things broken or incompleted.
