It happened again this morning. I awoke with focus and purpose, my plan to get back to blogging, to join in Leah's at The Loft today. And I'd made it to the shower when the thought that I hadn't taken the clothes out of the dryer hit my early-morning mind. So, I go to the laundry room, mentally kicking myself because I was going to HAVE TO iron now… In the laundry room, a million (ok, really two) distractions called to me: swim items from the gym now scattered around the room begged ...

Tears of loss for me, for my family, for her family and our church.Cindy LeMarr went to live forever with Jesus yesterday. She was a friend, encourager and mother to me.
