Help me create some buzz. I have free galley copies of SOUL GRAFFITI for the first 10 bloggers who email me with their mailing address. (Of course I would love it if you read the book and post review comments on your blog). Please contact me at mark AT reimagine DOT org. Thanks!
On Saturday my kids and I went to a city-sponsored event at the park across the street from our house. Several police officers were on detail and I asked about the girl who had been shot on our corner three weeks before. I thought she would be fine since there wasn’t much blood and she seemed conscious when they loaded her into the ambulance. One of the officers said that the bullet, which had entered her armpit and exited her back slightly grazed her spine– and she is now paralyzed from the neck down. How tragic! Pray for the unnamed girl who appeared to be ninteen.
For Ella Elizabeth Stavlund, daughter of our friends Mike and Stacy, read by the waters and flower petals of her baptism on April 15, 2007.
Ella Elizabeth
Who through force of Will
Now graces us
With her presence
May you grow in wisdom
And in stature
And in favor
With God and people
May the seed of the Maker’s good dreams
Leap and sprout inside of you
Nurturing you to become
The woman you were made to be
Today I will still my heart
and surrender my mind
to listen to your voice
welling up inside.
May my voice and my choices
Resonate with your eternal song
