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 my blog about living as apprentices of Jesus! I am passionate about spiritual transformation and about helping others become like Jesus for the sake of others.
One of my 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"). I pray that the words and sentences on this blog may also serve as "containers of grace" for its readers.
I ordinarily post on Wednesdays and Saturdays and welcome your comments on any post!

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.
