Our lovely daughter turned 36 years old today. What in the world?!? I think I was 36 when I got done with seminary - in a program for "older" students - and started pastoring a church. I hope she's ready for the next 20-ish years to fly by!!! ;)
Actually, she's better poised to face it than I was, and I have no doubt that when she is my age she will be in a much better place.
Anyway, she has adapted well to life on the "farm" just outside Fort Wayne. They don't do any actual farming per se (I mean, you can spit to the city limits), but they are raising up the three munchkins almost to the teens, and the dog and cat, and seem pretty content where they are.
She's still working full-time as Administrative Assistant for a branch of the Y. I won't say it's the worst one in town, but it has more than it's fair share of dysfunction. Fortunately she gets to pop into my location now and then on her way to the bank or the main office!
Carrie has always carried a full heart for those in need, as well as those around her, and there's no one I would rather have on my side. I suppose she gets her intensity and sense of justice from yours truly, but fortunately gets a big dose of grace and compassion from her beautiful mother.
I'm glad she lives close by, and can't wait to see what year 36 brings for her!

1 Peter 3:3-4
"Your beauty should not come from outward adornment, such as elaborate hairstyles and the wearing of gold jewelry or fine clothes. Rather, it should be that of your inner self, the unfading beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is of great worth in God’s sight."
