I haven't written this past month. I have however been following a couple blogs that are sobering to my soul and challenging to my spirit. In danger of being some sort of commercial, I will still list them here: http://bowensheart.com/ and http://ourblessedhope.blogspot.com/. I have already posted some excerpts from Bowen's heart. The story of Bowen is widely known and followed, particularly in the Christian circle. The other blog is written by a friend from my high school youth group (from when I lived in Dallas, TX). She just lost her baby girl (just a couple days after delivery). The emotions and questions that these two sets of parents are facing are intense. It is clear that it is in these times that God develops our faith to deeper levels. I have learned much from reading their thoughts... hold on... let me find a quote from Matt (Bowen's dad and lead singer for the band Sanctus Real)....
Ever since we found out that Bowen was sick I’ve been asking a lot of life’s most difficult questions and seeking out the answers. Looking back from this point in my life, I don’t know that I was ever digging very deep in my faith. What’s interesting is that I thought I was. This struggle has awakened my heart and mind in ways that I never thought possible.
