Hi everyone,
I know that I haven't posted anything in the last few days. Between Myles' daily dressing changes, them trying to get him to walk, and our sleepless nights (from nightmares) days and nights have become a blurr to both of us. Auntie Mona had to go home on Tuesday morning (my crutch and angel) so I have been pretty busy. Myles is recovering but I truly believe the pain from dressing changes and them trying to get him moving is really starting to get to him. You add sleepless nights from nightmares and flashbacks to the nights and he really doesn't seem to get any reprieve. I can't stand not being able to take some if not all of this for him. The blessing is Aaron and Tuyet are coming back today (weather/snow) permitting. Myles' strength will double when he sees his brother. I will sleep for maybe 24 hours straight (been up for about 48) knowing that they are by his side. Myles says that he wants to write something on the blogsite to all of you, but we have been too tired these last few days.
Love to all

The Reward of Christianity
Thursday, March 01, 2007
“All things are worth nothing compared with the greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord.” Philippians 3:8
The reward of Christianity is Christ.
Do you journey to the Grand Canyon for the souvenir T-shirt or the snow globe with the snowflakes that fall when you shake it? No. The reward of the Grand Canyon is the Grand Canyon. The wide-eyes realization that you are part of something ancient, splendid, powerful, and greater than you.
The cache of Christianity is Christ. Not money in the bank or a car in the garage or a healthy body or a better self-image. Secondary and tertiary fruits perhaps. But the Fort Knox of faith is Christ. Fellowship with him. Walking with him. Pondering him. Exploring him. The heart-stopping realization that in him you are part of something ancient, endless, unstoppable, and unfathomable. And that he, who can dig the Grand Canyon with his pinkie, thinks you’re worth his death on a Roman timber. Christ is the reward of Christianity.
Hugs and Kisses too!
