Had you considered that. I remember the first time I came across you blog. Your story really touched me. I have followed your blog and your tweets ever since. Your story, your family's story and the story of your ministry continues to touch me. I believe that as Christians we are called to be different to the world (what ever that might mean). And, if they can only have a connection with those closet to them, then we are to do the very opposite. Christ didn't just care about the 12 who walked with him. He cared for all. Our relationships might be tangental, but we are still to care for one another and pray for one another even if all we know of that person is 140 characters in a tweet. Anything else is inauthentic.

Right. May i have the strength to make the choice to change and live in that reality. Thank you again for reminding me of what I love the most. My babies, who are asleep in their beds, give me more joys, laughter and fulfillment. Sometimes I need a good kick in the butt to remind me of it. I appreciate you brother! Hard. Right.

Wouldn't it be great for people to say, "He/She is addicted to their family" instead of drugs, alcohol, gambling, video games, facebook, twitter, etc. Some addictions are more acceptable to the world.
