"When you is precious to God, you become important to Satan. ... The thief comes in the night." - Denver

It took me about 2 days to read this cover-to-cover; I couldn't put it down. What a moving true story that grabs hold of the reader and forces him or her to evaluate their lives and then challenges them to reach out in love to those who, in their eyes, are different then themselves. God's ways are not our ways nor are his thoughts our thoughts (Isaiah 55:8), and yet he graciously weaves us into his story and allows us to touch others with his love. 

"But I found out everybody's different - the same kind of different as me. We're all just regular folks walkin down the road God done set in front of us." - Denver

Quality Time

I live for quality time. Quality time for me involves a number of things, a few of which include: being sincere, having meaningful conversations, hearty laughter, and contented silences. I didn't realize how true it is that I am refreshed by having quality time with people until a recent conversation I had with someone. I appreciate and need alone/quiet time but I am extremely refreshed by quality time. Whether it's breakfast with someone or taking a walk, when removed from the world of technology and entering into meaningful interaction with another person, it is then that I am rejuvenated.

Last night I was with some people whom I cherish, respect, appreciate, and enjoy and oh how beautiful it was to sit in the corner and watch them all interact, laugh, and just be. I am thankful for the moments of quality time I am blessed with and though some days I wish there was more of it, I will be grateful for the times I have.
