"Mountaintops are for views and inspiration, but fruit is grown in the valleys." - Billy Graham
Through Austin's broken neck five years ago and Davin's brush with death 20 days ago Becky and I have increased, substantially, our appreciation for the value of a day. We have this one day. We savor hugging the boys, reading stories to them and listening to their excited chatter about various things. A scratch on the car isn't so big a deal. A broken glass is okay. Take seriously the role God has given us as parents and hold the stuff of earth with loose hands. It will rot, but our kids are of immense value.
