As I look back over this past week, I can think of many things that made my life richer:
Skyping with a special friend
Creative texting with another — emoticons can be fun, y’all!
Impromptu game nights after dinner
The zest of fresh pineapple and watermelon and peaches and nectarines — the flavor of summer
But thankfulness welled up deep within my soul as I read these words Thursday night: The Black Forest Fire is 100% contained.
I know many of you prayed for me and my family — for the countless thousands in Colorado Springs whose lives were torn asunder by this fire.
Thank you.
And I thank God for all the first responders — the firefighters, the law enforcement, the National Guard — who defended our city.
