"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
Come in! Come in!
"If you are a dreamer, come in. If you are a dreamer, a wisher, a liar, a Hope-er, a Pray-er, a Magic Bean buyer; if you're a pretender, come sit by my fire. For we have some flax-golden tales to spin. Come in! Come in!" -- Shel Silverstein

Tears for Grandmother
Doug writes: Here's a pic of Obama in NC today, when speaking of his grandmother, It is the first time I have seen him shed tears on the campaign trail.
After he stopped speaking about her, he took a handkerchief from his pocket, wiped the tears & went on with his speech.
Thanks, Doug, for sending this snap.
My grandmother always said that there's no man more courageous than the one who has the courage to cry, and there is no man so tall as the one who will stoop to talk to a child.
Barack Obama is that man.
