The miracle of life is the most amazing and “wonder-full” gift God has given us. From humans to deer and everything in between, it’s a truly beautiful thing to witness. Watch this newborn fawn discover the world.

Welcome to this blog about living as apprentices of Jesus!
One of Karen's favorite quotes is: "Whatever job we get and whatever task we are assigned can serve as a container for grace" (Eugene Peterson in "Practical Resurrection"). We pray that the words and sentences on this blog may also serve as "containers of grace" for its readers.
Joy and Karen

Thanks Kathleen. I was reading a lot of info on the shootings in Newton, CT just before I saw your comment. As I revisited the pictures of the fawn in my mind I recognized the dependence of those children who lived through the experience on those women who died defending them. And then I thought of the shooter evidently never felt the safety that this little fawn felt. I am so deeply grateful for the knowledge of the unshakable kingdom of God – God is still in control, even when the world seems to have gone mad.
Precious – a perfect example of our dependence and need for God. I certainly feel like that little fawn today.
