oh, ha - I didn't even realize it. Not sure, but I think that I clicked on the FOJ link, maybe it was displayed when I registered for for Disqus earlier to comment on your other post...Anyway, it looks to be an old blog of yours? http://jer979.disqus.com/

This is beautiful. At once deeply personal and yet widely accessible, speaking of the human condition. I don't have children of my own yet, but still I am moved by this piece. Touched by it. Inspired by it. Thanks, yet again, for sharing.

Clarification, since I can't edit my post;)

" I...can personally relate to #1 and #3; [I can relate] vicariously AND viscerally to #2 and #4." Hopoe that makes more sense!

I love the discussions and conversations that a lot of your posts elicit. Lot's of learning happening here - keep up the awesome work Jeremy.

Thanks,
Justin Bacon

Unbelievable. I would like to apologize for this woman. Thanks for sharing this episode Jeremy, and furthermore, for modeling what I think is the only healthy response: Learn what you can from it and share with others. I think your list of takeaways is fantastic and can personally relate to #2 and #3; vicariously AND viscerally to #2 and #4.

Just remember that this woman's view, while unfortunately shared by some other Christians, is not a view sharedb y all...

Thanks,
Justin
