bright wings

I noticed Martin posted here today, and that reminded me I haven't linked to his father's blog yet. I feel in some way connected to this wonderful family via my job, as we got them set up with a custom license for MT to power their sites. However, reading about the way they power their lives has been amazing, and at the risk of sounding too much like my mama's child, blessed.

Donel is a pastor from Bellingham, Washington.  His sermons are facinating, firmly rooted in love for fellow humans and a profound respect for the power of the church to unite, rather than divide. My mom says he would have gotten along well with Jonsey, the priest who first drew her into her church.  They still make Christian leaders who don't make you want to do something crazy.

Donel's journey through surgery for renal cancer has been blogged for you to read, courtesy of himself, his loved ones, and I like to think, a little bit of help from all of us at Six Apart.  Read the whole thing, it's a great way to understand how someone can handle the real problems of life with grace, and reminds one to have the humilty to thank God each day for a life full of love and good health.
