The stories and pictures from Japan really make you stop and praise God for the safety of your families and loved ones where you are right now, and mourn for the lives that have been lost and the lives that will never be the same in Japan.  I know the blog has been fairly silent this week, but I wanted to thank Lydia at Ever Ours and Lucia at Utterly Engaged for rallying together to encourage everyone to donate to send ShelterBoxes to Japan.  Every little bit helps, and I hope you all will consider donating to this cause or to the Red Cross to help those in need.
