Perspective

Punches you in the face sometimes, reminding you to hug your mom more often, spend time loving, and don't lose a moment.

I made a phone call for the usual bantering and some catching up after a prolonged game of phone tag and the occasional text message. Summer school over, deadlines extended, thinking of cruises, story ideas and, like always, politics. That conversation will have to wait.

As you know, it's hard for me to pray about these things, but I'll defer to my mom to pray for your uncle.

Puedo confiar en el Señor, no me va a fallar,
Puedo confiar en el Señor, no me va a fallar,
Si el sol dejara de alumbrar, y no brillara nunca mas,
Yo igual confio en el Señor, no me va a fallar.
