One thing I of the Lord desire,
For all my life hath miry been-
Be it by water or by fire,
Oh, make me clean,
Oh, make me clean,
So, wash me now, without, within,
Or, purge me with fire if that must be,
No matter how,
If only sin die out in me,
Die out in me!
-Charles Brooks

Naomi,
Interestingly, I met some friends of yours today! :)

At the GfBC Semper Reformanda conference, I met the Davis family. We sat with them at lunch, and through conversation I realized that they knew you guys! Funny, isn't it? I just thought it was interesting that I met friends of yours even though I haven't met you!

(Btw, you don't have to publish this, I just thought I'd mention it) :)
Blessings,
Allison
