"Finally, I suspect that it is by entering that deep place inside us where our secrets are kept that we come perhaps closer than we do anywhere else to the One who, whether we realize it or not, is of all our secrets the most telling and the most precious we have to tell." Frederick Buechner

Guess who came to my birthday party?
Yup. The Big Guy himself.
The best part is that this is a spice cake with cream cheese frosting, homemade from scratch by Laura, St. Paul's almost world renowned financial guru of The Christmas Appeal fame. Yummy.
You have to know that Laura is a Unitarian, so the staff teased her unmercifully about where she might have gotten that Jesus candle. She smiled slyly and said, "At the UUA gift shop, of course."
Can't wait to show you what we got Ms. Conroy for her birthday. She's gonna LOVE It.
Thank you for all your wonderful birthday greetings to me. You've made my day. I am deeply blessed.

Sorry I missed your birfday Elizabeth+!
ReplyDeleteHope it was a great one!
I just thought you should know that a couple of my friends as I at Drew were talking about you recently. Pretty sure you don't know any of us but we were all expressing our appreciation of you. You don't now how many people you touch. But you touch far more than you can even conventionalize. We may not tell you in person, but we heard you tell your story at Drew our first year, we read your blog, and you are an inspiration to us.
ReplyDeleteI wish we had the courage and opportunity to tell you this to your face...but this is a good way too.
Thank you for all you do. You have paved the way for so many. Your work will be remembered and are appreciated beyond measure. Thank you Rev. Keaton. You are a God send to our lives.....
