Today is my favorite daughter's birthday. She is 21!!! Wow, I cannot believe it. I still remember when she was born. Jane used to have to work on Saturday's, and me with this newborn baby trying to figure out what to do. I didn't have much experience with babies then. And somehow she turned out to be a beautiful, intelligent, dynamic woman. She has such a tender heart, coupled with a passion for justice; and... if there is ever something that I NEED to get done, Carrie is who I would have do it. She is master of figuring things out. I am so glad I have her to help me technologically, because all I know I owe to her.
This weekend she moves to Ohio to begin a 7-week internship at a certain seminary. That will be wierd to have her gone - even though she hasn't really lived with us for several years. She has always been "around" though. I will miss her smile and enthusiasm for life. But... I think this summer will be good for her, and good for the place she is doing her internship.
I love my daughter. I pray that this birthday will be grand (and safe). Bless her, Lord. Help her learn to accept who You've made her to be.
Peace. Revolution (she's a big part of it).
