I have been reading some blogs of some really good friends. Ups, downs, averages-successes, failures, blahs-disappointments, rejoicements, just plain ments. And through it all, I am charmed by you. There is strength and courage in each of you that makes my heart sing and my eyes misty. You make me grateful because you remind me so much of my Savior and His miraculous and powerful charity.
I spoke in church about "Charity never faileth" and among my post Easter musings I have found great comfort in the this phrase, which contains the only true hyperbole I have ever come across. The more I muse about charity the more I think my muse is charity. It inspires me. The impression sinks deep into my soul that charity can heal all wounds, bind all breaks, mend all tears and generally do the impossible. Hatred crumbles to ash and disperses to the wind. Bitter souls find solace. My bruised and broken soul finds heaven. What could possibly be more miraculous?
The love in Christ redeemed mankind. He embraced us and this one act continues to rescue us each and every time we fall.
Your lives are my charity, making the pain worthwhile and the joy more joyus. Thanks for the love!

Nicki, you are wonderful!! I miss you! So much that I'm coming to Iowa to visit on May 6-8. My mom is flying down here and we're going to drive up to Iowa to do some final research for my dissertation. I hope to see you while I'm there!
