You don’t always have great and noble reasons for doing things.
You don’t always act in a valiant leap of faith responding to a heavenly voice’s call.
You don’t always count the cost before you decide it’s worth paying it.
Sometimes you just do things because a smile touched your heart.
Sometimes your only motivation is wanting to feel as special as you did in one moment over and over again.
Sometimes someone just says something to you that makes you want to act like a hero.

…of faraway places where people live in castles and every girl is a princess with a pony of her own…
…of living dreams and every sound is a giggle and every face has a smile…
…of all the promises in the pages of every favorite storybook coming true…
…of never ever hurting or having a reason to cry…
…of dancing with the butterflies in a fragrant garden and being little girls forever.
They dream.

inO, my little friend, I have missed you.
I’m looking at your picture today and I know that where I am isn’t necessarily where we ever intended to be. I don’t think we turned out too bad, though. Sure, there’s a lot that could have worked out better than it did, but we’ve been happier a lot more than we’ve been sad. We aren’t alone, we have purpose, we’ve missed some opportunities, but we’ve taken advantage of everything that mattered.
I hate to have to tell you that Papa is gone now. You didn’t leave a thing unsaid, and there was peace when he went home. He will love you with all of his heart all the years you will live and have him. Mommy is still here and she’s doing alright. You’ll get to take care of her and spend lots of time with her yet. Pat is here and she has a daughter and someone to take care of her. Things will be hard for the two of you, but don’t worry about that now. You’re married, have been for seven years, and she is the most amazing human being you will ever meet and she will love you so much. You’re happy with her and she’s happy with you.
Look, Joe, I hope that if you can look through time at me today the same way that I can look at you, that you can look at me and find something to be proud of. I’m really sorry because I know that there’s a lot of ways that I’ve let you down, but look at everything that’s turned out so awesome. At the very least, if you can see this old man sitting here, I hope you can forgive me that we never became Luke Skywalker, a fireman, or bionic. I tried my best.

These will be the single most important photos that I will ever post on this photoblog. I have kept this story to myself for some time now out of a sense of either shame or embarrassment, or out of fear of how people would perceive me because of it. That was very stupid of me, because my story is the story of the power of God to change an individual life and that is the most important story that we can tell. When critics of the faith sneer at us and challenge us to show them some kind of proof of our claims that there is a God in Heaven and that he is interested in the affairs of man and that he loves us and works in our lives and world for good, we have our stories to speak on his behalf. -Emilio Espinosa
The story of how we became awakened to God is not for us, it is for others.

Affection makes us feel all kinds of wonderful inside, but affection is never about more than our own good feeling. What you have is two or more people in a relationship, be it just a friendship or a full-on marriage, who are never doing more than taking what makes each of them feel good. People pulling on each other have nothing to give each other except more pulling and inevitably get pulled completely apart. Continue reading
