Comments

So, this totally made me laugh and I had to share. Whenever someone posts a comment on this blog, it gets emailed to me. Yesterday, I received this:

Hi my name is Jose and I am a Brazilian who lives in Northern Ireland and works in a very small Brazilian/multicultural church.I was preparing the power point presentation for my sermon today about the conflict between fear and faith when I found the post of Katie expressing all her emotions and thoughts about fear and faith just days before a heart surgery. I know it was posted in 2006 and I do not know what happened after that, but I just want to say that her post was such an inspiration for me and it will bless a group of brothers and sisters that also strugles between faith and fear on the other side of the globe. (I supose you live in America)Again Thank you and God Bless the Fab Four

So way to go Katie, for your postulation on your thankfully harmless heart condition... apparently you're helping people the world around.

Sarah's Wedding

Sarah's wedding was perfect. Her dress was so beautiful and
Spencer looked at her like Gilbert looks at Anne. I teared up so many times just thinking about how eternally grateful I am for the kind, righteous, and loving friends I made in college--primarily you three. Thanks so much for being such wonderful friends, even when we're miles apart and living such different lives. It feels like we've never skipped a beat when I see you (even though I've been a bad and often-absent friend), and I really admire your positive examples. Anyway, this is my nostalgic entry. It is also my time to say CONGRATULATIONS to Sarah and Spencer. I love you and am so happy for you, Sarah, and I will always consider you to be one of my best friends. I love you girls!

J'ai ta nostalgie...

I've been going through old pictures lately, trying to get them out of boxes and into albums. I came across this picture and the phrase that came to my mind was actually a French one. "J'ai ta nostalgie," which literally translated means I have your nostalgia or memory, but which really is just another way of saying "I miss you."
